Gardaí have arrested one man and seized drugs worth about €50,000 during a search operation in Dublin.
A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene and taken to Clontarf Garda Station where he was detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
The man has since been released and is expected to appear before Dublin District Court later this month to face charges in relation to the investigation.
During searches of a residential property on Friday in Artane, gardaí seized quantities of cocaine and cannabis along with other drug preparation items.
