Cannabis worth almost three million euro is seized

Cannabis worth almost three million euro has been seized in Limerick.

On Thursday, gardai and Revenue officers seized 147 kilogrammes of herbal cannabis with an estimated value of approximately 2,940,000 euro in the area.

Revenue said the seizure came as a result of a joint “intelligence-led” operation conducted by the Customs Service, the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) and Limerick Divisional Drugs Unit.

This seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing joint investigations involving organised crime groups and the importation, sale and supply of illegal drugs.

A spokesperson said: “If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding drug smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on phone number 1800 295 295.”

Investigations are ongoing.
