Cocaine, heroin and cannabis seized in Garda raids in Offaly File pic
Gardaí have seized cocaine, heroin and cannabis seized in two separate recent raids in Offaly.
According to gardai, €8,000 worth of cocaine and cannabis was seized at an apartment in Birr and €6,000 worth of heroin was seized from a house in Crinkle.
A Garda spokesman told the Midland Tribune that the raids were carried out by members of the Offaly Divisional Drugs Unit accompanied by uniformed and plain clothes Gardaí.
He said the drug seizures occurred as the result of excellent preparatory and surveillance work carried out by a dedicated drugs team which has been based in Birr Garda Station for the last couple of years.
The first raid was carried out at the apartment in Birr Town Centre. The apartment was searched under warrant. The drugs unit were joined by Customs, who brought a detector dog called Sam with them. Sam led the officers to the drugs, which included €4,000 of cannabis and €4,000 of cocaine. A young woman in her 20s was arrested and charged with possession of drugs for sale and supply.
The second raid, at the house in Crinkle. Once again the officers brought Sam with them and once again he proved invaluable. A woman in her 50s was arrested and charged with possession of drugs for sale and supply.
