Revenue officers seized 104 kg of cocaine with an estimated value of €7.2 million as part of an intelligence-led operation at Rosslare Europort last Thursday.
Two men (aged in their 40s and 50s) were arrested on Friday by An Garda Síochána. They are currently being detained pursuant to Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996, at Garda stations in Wexford and Kerry.
The seizure was made because of a joint operation conducted by Revenue’s Customs Service and the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB).
Investigations are ongoing.
The seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing operations targeting smuggling and shadow economy activity. If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.
