Five questioned over €10m drugs seizures

GARDAÍ questioned five people yesterday in connection with two of the largest seizures of cannabis and cocaine in recent years.

In separate operations, law enforcement officers seized 1.2 tonnes of cannabis and 25kg of cocaine in Kildare and Dublin.

The cannabis haul, estimated to be valued at around €8.5 million, is thought to be the single biggest seizure of the drug in least three years.
