Search for two drugs fugitives intensifies
Up to 40 gardaí backed up by armed detective and the Garda sniffer dog unit scoured fields in the Toormore area near Schull in Co Cork as the net closed in on the fugitives, on the run since Monday’s botched drugs run.
Locals reported seeing a man running through fields at about 9am. It is believed he is one of two men — one with long hair, one with short hair and both in their mid-40s — who are linked to attempts to smuggle up to €105 million worth of cocaine in through Dunlough Bay, north of Mizen, on Monday.
