Gardaí have discovered a double barrel shotgun and a quantity of drugs during searches at a house in Tallaght.

Investigators said the discovery was made as part of a planned ‘day of action’ in the area.

The gun and drugs were found at a house in the Bawnlea area. A stolen motorcycle was also discovered.

Gardaí said a man in his late teens was arrested and has been charged in connection with the investigation.

He is due to appear before a sitting of Dublin District Court this morning.
