Gardaí seized more than €3m worth of illegal vapes and cannabis-based products in a targeted operation across five Irish counties.
More than 100 Gardaí carried out searches on Wednesday in Longford, Mayo, Roscommon, Wexford and Carlow as investigations continue into an organised crime group allegedly involved in selling and supplying illegal vapes and cannabis products nationwide.
Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) officers, national specialist units and other units took part in the operation.
Illegal vapes and cannabis-based products with an estimated street value of more than €3m were seized.
Cash worth €235,000 was also seized, including £3,000 in sterling and $3,500 in US dollars. Several high-value vehicles were seized as part of the investigation.
The products will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said investigations are ongoing, with no arrests made to date.
