As part of an investigation into the sale and supply of controlled drugs, Gardaí said they seized approximately €2.3 million worth of suspected cocaine, cannabis, and MDMA on Friday 28 August 2026.
The operation was carried out by the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT), who observed and intercepted the handover of suspected drugs in a public place in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15. Gardaí said approximately 18 kilograms of suspected cocaine, estimated at €1.8 million, was seized, along with an additional 4 kilograms of suspected cocaine worth an estimated €400,000 from a vehicle at the scene.
Two males, aged in their 50s and 60s, were arrested and are detained in a Garda station in the Dublin Metropolitan Region under the Drug Trafficking Act 1996.
