Two arrested following €13k drugs seizure in Shankill

Gardaí are continuing to question two men in connection with the discovery of drugs and a weapon in Dublin.

Gardaí from the Drugs and Burlgary units carried out a number of searches of premises in Dublin on Friday.

Cannabis resin and prescribed drugs, with an estimated value of 13 thousand euro, were seized during one of these operations at a house in the Rathsallagh area of Shankill. A firearm and ammunition were also discovered.

A 52-year-old man was arrested at the scene, and was taken to at Dun Laoghaire Garda Station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Earlier today a second man, aged in his early 30s, was arrested in connection with the investigation, under section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.

He is being held at Dun Laoghaire Garda Station where he can be questioned for up to three days.

The drugs seizure was made as part of an operation targeting the illegal sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Shankill/Ballybrack area.
