Gardaí seized a shotgun, four motorcycles, drugs and a tracking device following a series of searches in Dublin on Thursday.
Gardaí, supported by Blanchardstown and Cabra gardaí as well as the Garda Emergency Response Unit, the Garda Armed Support Unit and the Garda Dog Unit, carried out the searches in the Finglas area on Thursday morning.
Thursday's searches follow a number of others conducted in recent days as part of the policing response to illegal drone activity in the Finglas area on Monday, when a drone carrying a suspected pipe bomb landed in a residential garden.
In a statement, gardai confirmed the seizure made during the searches included a pump-action shotgun, four motorcycles, 26 rounds of ammunition, approximately €10,000 worth of cannabis, heroin worth €4,200, a tracking device, and "phones and other technology as evidence".
A garda spokesperson said investigations are ongoing.
