€800k haul of synthetic drugs seized in Waterford

A massive haul of synthetic drugs, including what is thought to be a new substance, has been seized in Waterford City.

A customs spokesman said the operation involved a controlled delivery of a parcel which had arrived into Cork Airport from China.

One of the drugs found, PVP, is not thought to have been seized here before, while a second substance, butylone, was only found in tiny quantities last year.
