Man arrested as gardai seize luxury watches and drugs

Gardai have seized “high-value watches” and suspected drugs with an estimated street value of more than 182,000 euro during a search in Dublin.

Officers from the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT) also found more than 5,000 euro in cash, and arrested a man in his 20s.

The search in South Dublin on Saturday evening was carried out as part of Operation Tara, targeting the sale and supply of illicit drugs in the Dublin region.

During the course of the search at a home in the Tallaght area, suspected herbal cannabis worth 122,000 euro, cocaine worth 58,000 euro and MDMA worth 2,400 euro was seized.

All of the drugs will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis.

The arrested man was detained at a Dublin garda station under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.

He was later charged and is due to appeal at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Monday.
