Gardaí intercepted a heavy goods vehicle on the M9 in County Kilkenny and subsequently conducted searches in Waterford as part of Operation Tara targeting organized crime. During the operation, 152 kg of cocaine was discovered hidden in a vehicle, leading to the arrest of a 60-year-old man, who is now detained under the Criminal Justice Act. The investigation received support from multiple units, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat organized crime and its severe impacts on society's stability, as noted by Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis.
Officers with the National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau discovered the 152 kilograms of cocaine in a 'sophisticated vehicle concealment'.
This is a further example of An Garda Síochána's commitment to target the enablers and facilitators of organised crime.
