Gardaí seized €414,000 in cash and arrested three men in West Dublin at approximately 6.30pm on Monday, November 22. 

The seizure took place as part of an operation targeting organised crime. 

Members of the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) intercepted two vehicles in the Blanchardstown area of Dublin and during a search of the vehicles, €414,000 in cash was discovered and seized. 

Three males, aged 38, 41, and 42 years, were arrested and are currently detained at Blanchardstown Garda Station.
