Gardaí in Limerick made a significant drug bust on Friday, arresting a man in his 50s and seizing over €200,000 worth of suspected cocaine. The operation unfolded near Croom, Limerick , when members of the Divisional Drugs Unit at Henry Street Garda Station stopped and searched a vehicle. During the search, a substantial quantity of cocaine, estimated to be worth approximately €204,000, was discovered. This illicit haul is now being meticulously analyzed by Forensic Science Ireland.
The arrested man is currently detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996, at a Garda Station in the Limerick area. A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána confirmed that investigations into this incident remain ongoing. This seizure is part of Operation Tara, a comprehensive national anti-drugs strategy launched by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on July 2, 2021. Operation Tara's primary objective is to disrupt, dismantle, and prosecute drug trafficking networks operating at all levels, encompassing international, national, and local spheres. The operation targets the importation, distribution, cultivation, production, and local sale and supply of controlled drugs.For those seeking to stay abreast of breaking news and the latest headlines, the Irish Mirror offers a WhatsApp service.
