Gardaí release images of firearms and 300k drugs seizure

A lengthy surveillance operation by gardaí in Mullingar, targeting persons involved in the sale and supply of drugs in the Midlands area, led to the arrest of two persons shortly after 9pm on Monday night.

The operation involved multiple personnel from all units of An Garda Síochána, including the Detective, Drugs, Armed Support Unit and the Garda Dog Unit.

Gardaí stormed the house last night and a search of the premises quickly led to the discovery of €301,000 in suspected drugs - approximately €245,000 of suspected cocaine and €56,000 of suspected heroin was seized by Gardaí.

All drugs seized are subject to analysis.

A follow up search of the residence this morning, Tuesday November 3, unearthed six handguns which have now been sent to the Ballistics Unit for analysis.
