Two men have been arrested and approximately €3 million worth of heroin seized as part of a major operation targeting organised crime gangs in Dublin.
Members of the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau intercepted and searched a vehicle in the Coolock area on Friday, 2 May 2025.
During the search, officers seized around 21 kilograms of suspected heroin (subject to forensic analysis).
Assistant Commissioner for Organised and Serious Crime Angela Willis commented:
The sale and supply of heroin has an especially harmful impact, not only destroying people’s lives but leaving a lasting effect on entire communities in Ireland and elsewhere.
Disrupting heroin trafficking remains a central focus of our work and we will continue to target the criminal organisations that operate at a global level with the intention of impacting the lives of ordinary people all over this country.
The arrests form part of ongoing investigations into transnational and Dublin-based organised crime groups, as Gardaí continue their crackdown on illegal drug distribution.
