€3 million euro worth of heroin has been seized in Dublin.

Two men have been arrested following yesterday's drugs bust.

As part of an intelligence led operation, Revenue officers seized 22 kilos of heroin in the Dublin 15 area.

The joint operation was carried out by Revenue's Custom Service and Gardaí through the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.

There was also an international element to the investigation which Revenue says was significant in the successful outcome of the operation.

Two men, aged 31 and 41, were arrested and are currently held at Blanchardstown Garda Station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.

Speaking today, Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Willis, Head of Bureau at the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau said;

"The outcome of cooperation between Revenue and Customs and An Garda Síochána, has resulted in the seizure of a significant quantity of heroin from circulation within communities that are suffering the consequences of drug trafficking."
