Smelly cyclist leads Gardaí to large illegal drugs bust

A cyclist was found to be carrying a large number of illegal substances during a recent search by Gardaí. 

According to Gardaí, officers from DMR North Central on routine beat patrol in Dublin City engaged with the cyclist on Talbot Street when they detected a strong smell of illegal cannabis. 

A search of the man resulted in the seizure of several illegal substances including cannabis, ketamine, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, LSD and MDMA. 

A follow up search of a nearby residence resulted in the seizure of additional quantities of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, Xanax and MDMA in crystal form.

The total amount in illegal drugs seized was €60,000 (subject to analysis) as well as €4,360 in cash. 

One male was charged and remanded in custody.
