Gardaí have seized €8 million worth of cannabis, cocaine and other drugs from a home in north Dublin. 

The drugs were found at a home in The Ward, Dublin 11, yesterday evening by the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT). 

Suspected drugs seized included cocaine, cannabis, ketamine, LSD and MDMA. 

€1 million in cash was also seized, while further cash, vehicles and designer goods were seized in follow-up searches around Dublin.

Dublin Metropolitan Region Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis said the drug seizure is a “major blow to this organised crime group which has been causing so much misery in communities right across the city”. 

“Cash is the lifeblood of crime groups and the seizure of amounts of this scale causes significant disruption,” she said. 

“Gardaí continue to target those that destroy lives through their activities.” 

Investigations are ongoing.
