Gardaí and customs officers have seized 10 kilos of heroin worth over €2.5m, as well as €250,000 in cash, as part of a joint investigation into drug trafficking.


Following a surveillance operation, officers from the Garda National Drugs Unit stopped and searched a truck and a van in Trim, Co Meath.

They discovered the cash and drugs hidden in the truck.


It was taken to Dublin Port for a specialist search where the full extent of the seizure was identified.

Two men, aged 28 and 39, were arrested at the scene. They are being questioned at Kells Garda Station. A 25-year-old woman was also arrested in Lucan and is being questioned at Ronanstown Garda Station.


Gardaí believe a number of drug traffickers have lost money after collaborating and investing in this substantial quantity of heroin.
