Two men are due in court today in connection with a raid on what gardai believe was a crack cocaine factory in Dublin earlier this week.

The two Nigerian men were arrested on Monday night at a flat in Phibsboro in the north inner city.

During the planned raid 900g of cocaine, packed into plastic pellets, was discovered along with 300g of crack cocaine.

The haul has an estimated street value of up to €150,000. The two are due before Dublin District Court this morning.

A woman and a man arrested at the same time have been released.
