Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with ongoing investigations into drug-related intimidation in Dublin.
The arrests were made on Tuesday in the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) North, as part of Operation Fógra.
The two men, aged in their 40s and 50s, were arrested in a border county on Tuesday and taken to a Garda station in the North Dublin area to be charged.
They are due to appear before District Court No 4 of the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ) on Wednesday morning at approximately 10.30am.
Operation Fógra is An Garda Síochána’s response in the DMR to drug-related intimidation (DRI) as part of the Garda National Strategy under Operation Tara.
Operation Fógra was launched to combat drug-related intimidation "which has been identified as a major source of community harm and fear in the DMR and is a sinister motive for various forms of criminality".
The operation has two underpinning pillars, according to gardaí:
• A harm reduction victim centred approach.
• Information enabled policing informing operational responses.
