A man is due before a special sitting of Galway District Court this evening over the seizure of cryptocurrency and cash in Doughiska.

On Monday, a home was searched by the Garda Divisional Drugs Unit, supported by the Regional Armed Support Unit.

As part of the operation targeting organised crime, two cryptocurrency accounts containing $410 thousand were frozen.

A freeze was also put on an account at a local institution that held over €20 thousand.
