Significant police operations in Kildare lead to the arrest of two men and a substantial drug seizure.
On Wednesday, officers executed a stop and search on a vehicle and a residential property, uncovering the impressive haul of cocaine linked to organized crime activities.

They are scheduled to appear before Naas District Court later today.
Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis of Organised and Serious Crime stated that this seizure marks a critical victory in combating drugs intended for the Irish market. She emphasized the ongoing commitment of An Garda Síochána and their law enforcement partners to dismantle organized drug-related crime, which contributes to harm, intimidation, and violence within communities across the nation.
