Detector dog Daithi was the ‘hero of the day’ at Rosslare Europort yesterday (Wednesday) when Revenue officers seized over 13kgs of cocaine with an estimated value €918,000.
The detection was a result of risk profiling and with the assistance of Daithí and Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner,
The illicit drugs were discovered when a Bulgarian-registered cab unit was stopped and searched, having earlier arrived on a ferry from Dunkirk, France.
A man in his 40s was arrested by An Garda Síochána and taken to a Garda Station in County Wexford. Investigations are ongoing.
This seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing operations targeting the importation of illegal drugs. If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding drug smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.
