Man arrested after €2.8 million worth of cannabis hidden in vegetable consignment seized

A man has been arrested after Revenue officers seized almost 140kgs of cannabis worth an estimated €2.8 million at Rosslare Europort on Wednesday.

The drugs were discovered as a result of routine profiling when Revenue officers stopped and searched a Spanish registered articulated lorry and its accompanying trailer that had disembarked from a ferry from Cherbourg, France.

The search was carried out with the assistance of Revenue’s mobile x-ray scanner, which led to officers uncovering the drugs that were concealed within a consignment of vegetables.
