Revenue seizes herbal cannabis in Dublin

As a result of routine profiling, officers from Revenue's Customs Service, yesterday (22/12/2014), seized 85kgs of herbal cannabis with a street value of €1.7m at Dublin Port.

The drugs, destined for premises in Dublin’s North City area, were discovered when officers scanned a container of animal feed which highlighted anomalies in the information provided with the shipment. Revenue’s x-ray scanner revealed 85 smaller packages of vacuum-packed drugs hidden within large cartons of animal feed.

Investigations are continuing.
