Three men have been arrested.
€90,000 worth of drugs have been seized in the midlands.
It follows the search of a home in Portlaoise by Laois Divisional Drugs Unit at about 8.20 on Tuesday evening.
The Drugs Unit was assisted by the Detective Branch and uniform gardaí from Portlaoise Garda Station.
During the course of the search, gardaí seized cocaine with an approximate street value of €50,000 and cannabis herb with an approximate street value of €40,000. The drugs will now be sent for analysis.
Three men, two aged in their late teens and one in his early 20s, were arrested as part of the operation and taken to Portlaoise Garda Station where they were detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
They've since been charged and are due to appear before Portlaoise District Court at 10.30 this morning.
This seizure forms part of Operation Tara, an enhanced national anti-drugs strategy, which was launched by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on July 2, 2021.
The focus of Operation Tara is to disrupt, dismantle and prosecute drug trafficking networks, at all levels - international, national, local - involved in the importation, distribution, cultivation, production, local sale and supply of controlled drugs.
