Three men, aged in their 20s, have been arrested following the seizure of a firearm in Dublin.
Gardaí are investigating following the seizure of a firearm and ammunition in Finglas, Dublin 11, on Friday, August 23.
During the course of routine patrols, Gardaí from the Divisional Drugs Unit carried out a search of a vehicle in the Kippure Park area of Finglas and recovered a suspected pistol along with ammunition.
Three men were arrested and are currently detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939 at Garda Stations in the Dublin Metropolitan Region.
The firearm and ammunition will now be sent to The Garda Ballistics Unit for further analysis.
Investigations are ongoing.
Speaking about this seizure, Chief Superintendent Majella Armstrong said: "I would like to commend the Gardaí involved in this seizure for helping to ensure another dangerous firearm has been taken off our streets.
"This was the result of ongoing proactive patrols in the DMR West and is another example of the tireless work carried out by Gardaí patrolling our streets every day to help keep people safe."
