One male, aged in his 20s, was arrested by An Garda Síochána and is currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at a Garda Station in County Wexford following a drugs raid yesterday (Thursday).
Revenue officers at Rosslare Europort seized approximately 145 kg of suspected herbal cannabis and approximately 7.9 kg of suspected cannabis resin.
The illicit drugs have an estimated value of over €2,947,000.
The cannabis was discovered when an accompanied freight unit that had disembarked a ferry from Dunkirk, France, was stopped and searched.
The subsequent search, with the assistance of Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner, led to the discovery of the drugs which were concealed within the load.
Investigations are ongoing.
