700Kgs Cannabis seized in Dublin
Officers from Revenue's Customs service based at Dublin Port, supported by Gardai, today (09/09/09), seized 700Kgs of herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of €8.4million.
The drugs were elaborately concealed in a consignment of flowers that had arrived by truck into Dublin Port from Holland, via Holyhead. One male Dutch national was arrested and is currently assisting officers with enquiries.
The seizure resulted from on-going operations targeting freight from source countries.
