Gardaí have seized guns, ammunition and thousands of euro worth of cocaine in a series of drugs raids on homes in north Dublin.

Several houses in the Malahide Road area were raided in the crackdown on organised crime and drug dealing in the capital.

Gardaí stationed in Coolock were joined by officers and sniffer dogs from the Garda Dog Unit and detectives from the Organised Crime Unit for the planned searches. No-one was arrested during the operation.

Two sawn-off shotguns, a quantity of ammunition, cocaine and drug dealing paraphernalia were recovered.
