Cocaine worth €10.5m seized at Dublin Port by Revenue officers



Revenue officers have seized €10.5 million of cocaine at Dublin Port.

The 150kg haul was concealed in a freight container that had recently arrived into Dublin Port.

The seizure was made following a joint operation by Revenue’s Customs Service and the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.

It was part of Revenue’s ongoing joint investigations into organised crime groups and the importation, sale and supply of illegal drugs.

Gardaí said no arrests have been made in relation to the operation and that investigations are ongoing.

It is the latest in a string of seizures of drugs destined for the Irish market in recent days.

On Sunday, an estimated €7.2 million worth of cocaine was seized at Rosslare Europort, amounting to approximately 104kgs.

The previous day, over €16 million worth of cannabis was detected at Rosslare – about 783kg of herbal cannabis and 70kg of cannabis resin, found with the aid of an X-ray scanner and a detector dog.
