Gardaí seize cocaine worth €1m

COCAINE worth €1 million, which was concealed in video tapes, was seized in an operation carried out jointly by gardaí and customs officials. And during a follow-up search they uncovered a mixing factory at a house in Co Cork.

It is the second time in less that a month that gardaí have discovered cocaine concealed within video tapes.

A man, understood to be in his 30s and from Nigeria, was arrested yesterday morning following the surveillance operation which had been underway for a number of days.
