Revenue officers seized 277kgs of herbal cannabis worth €5.54 million at Rosslare Europport during a routine search last Saturday morning.
The drugs were discovered when an unaccompanied trailer that had arrived into Rosslare from Bilbao, Spain was selected for examination.
The subsequent search, with the assistance of Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner, led to the discovery of the drugs concealed within a load of melons and oranges.
These routine operations are part of Revenue’s ongoing work targeting drug smuggling and shadow economy activity. If businesses, or members of the public have any information, they can contact Revenue in confidence on Confidential Phone Number 1800 295 295.
