Teenager arrested after €765k drug seizure at Rosslare Europort

A teenager has been arrested following the seizure of over €765k of herbal cannabis at Rosslare Europort.

During regular operations yesterday, Revenue agents recovered almost 38kgs of herbal cannabis with the use of their mobile x-ray scanner and detection dog Jasper.

When a polish registered articulated vehicle and trailer landed on a ferry from Cherbourg, France, the illegal drugs were discovered concealed in spare tyres.

Garda arrested a man in his 30s and took him to Wexford Garda Station for interrogation.

The seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing operations to combat illegal drug importation.

Business owners or members of the public with any information in relation to smuggling are being asked to contact Revenue on the confidential phone number 1800 295 295.
