A man has been arrested and charged in connection with the seizure of just over €136,000 worth of heroin and €1,000 of cocaine in Tallaght, Dublin 24, on Friday.
Gardaí from the Tallaght Drugs Unit searched a residence in the Tymon Crescent area at 5.25pm as part of Operation Tara, its national anti-drugs strategy.
The drugs seized are being brought to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis.
A man in his early 40s was arrested at the scene and detained at Tallaght Garda Station under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996. He has since been charged and is expected to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice, Dublin, Court 2, this Saturday.
