GARDAÍ have charged a man in connection with a seizure of more than a half a million euro worth of drugs in Limerick yesterday.
Gardaí attached to the Limerick Divisional Drugs Unit recovered the drugs during a search of a house at Annacotty, County Limerick.
The €643,000 drugs haul contained €470,000 worth of cannabis, €140,000 worth of cocaine, and €33,000 worth of prescription tablets.
Gardaí said the search and seizure operation was the result of “investigations into the sale and supply of drugs in the region”.
A man in his 30s, who was arrested during the search operation, and who was detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996, is to appear before Limerick District Court later this afternoon.
“Investigations are ongoing,” Garda said.
