Gardaí arrest two men after discovery of loaded semi-automatic weapon

A loaded semi-automatic pistol has been seized by Gardaí at a residence in Dublin 10. 

Gardaí from the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau arrested two men in their 30s following the search operation yesterday (December 17). 

Officers also seized a small amount of cocaine. 

The arrested duo are currently detained at Lucan Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939.

Remarking on yesterday’s operation, Assistant Commissioner Justin Kelly of Serious and Organised Crime said, "The mission of An Garda Síochána is keeping people safe. Therefore, violent drug gangs who [intimidate] our communities shall continue to be the primary target of our national investigations. An Garda Síochána is determined to disrupt and dismantle these groups and I commend all the officers involved in this operation." 

Investigations are ongoing.
