During a routine operation in Rosslare Europort yesterday, (Thursday), Revenue Officers seized over 67kgs of cannabis resin, with an estimated street value of €403,000.

The drugs were discovered when, as a result of routine profiling, a UK registered SUV was stopped and searched as it arrived in Rosslare from Cherbourg, France.
The subsequent search, with the assistance of Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner and Detector Dog Defor, led to the discovery of the drugs in the chassis sills of the jeep.
A UK national in his forties was arrested by Gardaí at the scene and was taken to Wexford Garda Station. Investigations are ongoing.
If businesses or members of the public have any information regarding drug smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on Confidential Phone Number 1800 295 295.
