€2.7m cannabis haul was for North, gardaí believe

CANNABIS with a street value of 2.7m has been seized by gardaí after a lorry was stopped and searched in north Co Dublin yesterday.

More than 200kg of the resin was packed into the container lorry which was stopped by members of the National Drugs Unit and local gardaí following a surveillance operation.

A man in his 40s was arrested after the lunchtime seizure in the village of Garristown. It is the second large cannabis find in the area in recent weeks. 2.5m worth was discovered near Ashbourne last month.
