Gardai from the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau have arrested five people in a major intelligence surveillance operation that was carried out at a remote farmhouse in the Kilmuckridge district of Co. Wexford last night.
During the search over 100kg of cocaine, estimated to be worth over €7 million, concealed in an articulated truck on the farm, was discovered.
Four people who are said to be middle-aged men, were arrested at the scene and vehicles were seized.
Follow-up searches were carried out in Dublin and Wexford and a fifth person was arrested in Dublin.
Those arrested are expected to appear in court tomorrow or in the next few days.
This operation involves numerous officers from all over the country and is mainly targeting a crime group based in West Dublin but other gangs are also involved.
Gardaí say this is a live operation and they won’t be commenting any further.
