Gardai have seized drugs and €31,000 in cash following a checkpoint in Cork.
€8,500 of suspected cocaine was recovered after a car was searched on the M8 motorway at Strawhill in Fermoy.
The occupants of the car were arrested and brought to Fermoy Garda Station.
The driver, who is a man in his 20s, also failed a roadside drug test.
In a separate search, €31,000 in cash was found hidden in another car.
Both of its occupants were brought to Fermoy Garda Station for the purpose of a search but were not arrested.
The investigation is ongoing.
Chief Superintendent Thomas Myers said "The roads policing units are also there to deny criminals the use of the road network and gather intelligence. They play a vital role in keeping our communities safe.”
