A significant drug seizure in County Kildare has led to the arrest of two men.
Two individuals, aged 50 and 60, were detained following a search of a vehicle and a residence in the Allenwood area. The operation occurred on a Wednesday when the authorities executed a meticulously planned stop-and-search, resulting in the extraordinary discovery of cocaine—in a massive haul destined for the Irish market.
The arrested men now face serious charges relating to drug trafficking and distribution, aligned with organized criminal groups that threaten community safety. They are set to appear before Naas District Court on Thursday to answer these charges.

The seizure underscores a commitment by An Garda Síochána and associated law enforcement agencies to eradicate drug-related organized crime that inflicts harm and contributes to violence and intimidation across communities nationwide.
This incident reiterates the ongoing battle against drugs in Ireland, provoking a sentiment of increased vigilance and determination among law enforcement to protect citizens from the detrimental effects of drug trafficking.
