Around €6m worth of cocaine has been seized as part of a major Garda international crackdown.

Searches are continuing this afternoon with gardai describing it as a live operation.

The operation involves numerous officers from all over the country and is mainly targeting a crime group based in West Dublin, but it's believed other gangs are also involved.

The sting began last night in Co Wexford where raids were carried out.

Millions of euro worth of cocaine was seized with the full amount yet to be quantified.

Follow up searches have been conducted in Wexford and Dublin and a number of arrests have been made.

The criminals involved have been communicating internationally via encrypted messaging apps to traffic drugs into the country.

Gardaí say this is a live operation and they won't be commenting any further.
