A man in his 20s has been arrested following the seizure of cocaine with an estimated street value of €4.69m.
During the course of a garda operation in Dublin yesterday, 67kg of the drug was seized after a vehicle was stopped in the Leopardstown area.
A man was arrested and is currently being held at Dundrum Garda Station.
Assistant Commissioner John O'Driscoll said: "The successful outcome to an operation undertaken by the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau, involving the seizure of cocaine with a street sale value close to €5 million, reflects the Garda Síochána’s determination to dismantle organised crime groups that trade in drugs."
Gardaí said investigations are ongoing.
