Gardai were last night quizzing a suspected member of the Albanian mob after cocaine with a street value of around €1.12 million was seized from a car in Co Louth.
The drugs, which sources said belonged to a west Dublin gang with links to Drogheda, were discovered near Drogheda by officers attached to the Divisional Drugs Unit based at the local garda station.
The man in his late 30s was arrested at the scene and was yesterday being questioned at Drogheda garda station. He is detained under the Drug Trafficking Act and can be held for up to seven days.
