Revenue officers seized over a million cigarettes and a large sum of cash in two separate incidents in two counties.
Detector dog Bill sniffed out over 1.5 million "Rothmans" branded cigarettes from a commercial property in Co Meath earlier today. More than €1.1million worth of cigarettes that originated in Belgium were seized.
They represented a potential loss to the Exchequer of approximately €919,000. A Revenue spokeswoman said investigations are ongoing.
