Revenue seize drugs worth six figures hidden as 'toys' and 'blankets'

Revenue officers with the help of detector dog Bailey seized €149,000 worth of drugs from a premises in Dublin yesterday.

They discovered 23kgs of cannabis infused edibles, over 5kgs of herbal cannabis and 1,000 Zopiclone tablets, as well as small quantities of benzylpiperazine and benzodiazepine tablets. Cannabis oil and ‘magic mushrooms’ were also found as part of the routine operations.

The illegal drugs were found in parcels labelled as everyday items and on their way to places around Ireland. They originated in multiple locations across North America, Europe and Asia. The drugs were sneakily declared as ‘document’, ‘toys’, ‘blankets’, ‘textiles’, ‘make up’, ‘dolls’ and ‘clothing’.
