Gold bullion worth €1.4m (£1.2m), €460,000 (£384,000) in cash, and €210,000 (£175,000) in suspected cocaine after a two-day search operation in the Republic of Ireland.
A man in his 50s has been arrested and is currently being held in custody, gardaí (Irish police) said.
The searches took place on Thursday and Friday in residential and business premises in the Dublin area.
The drugs are currently sent away for further analysis.
Ch Supt Garrett Billings said: "This seizure is another example of the fine work members of An Garda Síochána (Irish police force) do on a daily basis to keep our communities safe.
"This operation, conducted by the Dublin Crime Response Team, is intended to target, disrupt and bring to justice those who cause significant harm in society.”
Further updates will follow, gardaí said.
