€406,000 worth of suspected heroin and cocaine has been seized following the search of a car on the Kildare-Dublin border.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said that gardaí seized approximately €406,000 of suspected heroin and cocaine during a number of searches in Finglas and Lucan in Dublin on Monday, April 17, 2023.
"These searches were part of an operation aimed at tackling and disrupting the criminal activities of a West Finglas based organised crime group," the spokesperson said: "The searches were conducted as part of Operation Tara by the Finglas Drugs Unit supported by the Finglas Detective Unit, Finglas Community Policing, Finglas Regular Unit and local Scenes of Crime Units.
"At approximately 2.55pm, a search of a vehicle was conducted on the Newcastle Road in Lucan, County Dublin.
"During the course of this search, approximately €84,000 of suspected cocaine and €60,000 of suspected heroin was located and seized."
The spokesperson also said that a woman in her 40s was arrested at the scene and taken to a Dublin Garda Station, where she was detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.

"The drugs seized totaling €406,000 (€209,000 heroin and €197,000 cocaine) will now be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis."
