Gardaí are questioning three people in connection with a €140,000 drugs seizure in Dublin.

A "significant quantity of a substance" believed to be cocaine was found after two cars were stopped on the N81 in Tallaght last night.

Around 2kgs of the drug was discovered in packages.

A 30-year-old woman and two men - aged 28 and 37 - were arrested as part of the operation, which gardaí say was targeting serious and organised crime.

The three people are being questioned at Rathfarnham and Tallaght Garda Stations.

In a statement, Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll said: "We continue to pursue those who engage in serious and organised crime with a view to dismantling the organised crime groups they are associated with.

"This seizure of what is believed to be cocaine and the subsequent arrest of three suspects will assist in achieving that objective”.
