Gardai seize drugs worth almost €700k in Navan

Gardaí have seized a substantial quantity of drugs following a planned search of a house in Navan.

The search was carried out last night at a house at Tailteann Drive, Navan and was lead by the Meath Divisional Drugs Unit assisted by Navan Detective Unit and the Regional Armed Support Unit.

During the search a significant quantity of drugs comprising Cannabis in herbal form, MDMA in ecstasy tablet form, Cocaine, Diamorphine, a large amount of suspected mixing agent and other drugs related paraphernalia was found.

The total estimated street value of the drugs seized is €690,000.

Two persons were arrested at the scene - a man aged in his early fifties and a woman aged in her late thirties. Both were taken to Kells Garda Station where they are detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.

Gardai claim this was a very significant seizure disrupting the sale and supply of drugs in Meath.

Meanwhile, a man was arrested this morning in the Blanchardstown area of Dublin in connection with the investigation into the hijacking of a car in Enfield on Wednesday morning. He is currently detained at Trim Garda Station. Gardai would like to thank the public for their assistance with this investigation to date, particularly those who provided dashcam and cctv footage.
