A man (20s) is due in court this morning in connection with the seizure of drugs yesterday worth an estimated €715,000.
He was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday morning after gardaí on routine patrol in the Rathcoole/Citywest areas of Dublin carried out a search of a vehicle the male was driving.
During the course of the search, gardaí seized cannabis with an estimated street value of €10,000.
Gardaí conducted additional searches at properties in the Dublin area, leading to the seizure of cannabis, cocaine and crack cocaine, along with various drug related paraphernalia.
According to gardaí, the estimated street value of the drugs seized was €705,000. The drugs have since been forwarded to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis.
A female (20s) was arrested during the course of one search and was detained at a Garda station in Dublin.
She has since been released without charge.
The male has been charged in relation to the seizure and is due to appear before Blanchardstown District Court this morning.
