Two men have been arrested, and a quantity of drugs worth up to €250,000 seized, during a search in south Dublin.

Gardaí from 2 different divisions, the Terenure Drugs Unit, and the Detective Unit from Rathmines, worked together on this planned operation. They searched a flat on Leinster Road in Rathmines yesterday evening, where they seized cocaine worth a quarter of a million euro.

Investigators working on breaking up the sale and supply of controlled drugs in Terenure and Rathmines were behind the operation.

The 2 men now being questioned are aged in their 20s and were arrested at the scene.

They are being held at Terenure and Rathmines Garda Stations under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
