Following these searches, more than €75,000 worth of controlled drugs was seized from across the properties, including cannabis, cocaine, ketamine, heroin and alprazolam tablets. Approximately €6,500 in cash was also seized.

Following the searches, a number of patrols and checkpoints were conducted which led to the arrest of a man engaged in dangerous driving of a scrambler along the footpaths.

Chief Superintendent Michael McNulty of the DMR West Division said: “This was a multi-faceted operation, which focused on both road traffic enforcement and the detection of serious crime.

“The success of the operation is a testament to the continued efforts of Gardaí to counteract the use of e-scooters and e-bikes for criminal purposes, whilst prioritising the safety of the local community.”
