Probe following seizure of tablets in Limerick

A man was arrested and questioned about the seizure of around 10,500 tablets

A FILE is to be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions following the seizure of thousands of Benzodiazepine tablets on the northside of Limerick city.

The tablets, which have a street value of around €21,000, had been sent from Austria to an address in Limerick.

A 59-year-old was arrested and detained at Henry Street garda station under drug trafficking legislation.

The Garda Press Office has confirmed he has been released without charge pending directions from the DPP.
