Revenue officers, aided by detector dogs Bailey and Sam managed to find more than €450,000 worth of illegal drugs in packages marked as ‘tuxedos’, ‘tea’, ‘board games’, ‘jeans’, ‘car organisers,' and ‘pet blankets.’
The routine checks in Dublin on Wednesday led to the discovery of 18kgs of herbal cannabis, small quantities of butane honey oil, cannabis resin, MDMA, ecstasy tablets, cocaine and synthetic cannabinoids.
It is understood that the parcels originated in North America, Europe and the United Kingdom and were bound for addresses across Ireland.
