Irishmen jailed for 34 years after massive drugs haul intercepted in Britain

TWO Sligo men have been jailed for a total of 34 years in England in relation to a massive haul of heroin and cannabis.

Gardaí suspect the drug consignment — comprising 25kg of heroin and 600kg of cannabis resin — was bound for the Irish market.

The drugs were discovered in a hidden compartment in a horse box by British customs officers at Dover Docks last March.
