Three people have been arrested after cannabis worth an estimated 363,000 euro was seized in Dublin.
Revenue officers seized around 18.1kg of herbal cannabis which were found during searches of residential premises in the north Dublin region.
A man in his 20s was arrested on Wednesday and has since been charged and is now before the courts.
A man and woman in their 30s were arrested on Friday and are both being detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at a Garda Station in north Dublin.
Investigations are ongoing.
The seizures were made as part of an intelligence-led joint operation involving Revenue’s Customs Service, the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau and Garda District Drug Units attached to Ballymun, Balbriggan and Coolock Garda stations.
The operations are part of Revenue’s ongoing joint investigations targeting organised crime groups and the importation, sale and supply of illegal drugs.
