Two more held after €107m drug debacle

TWO men who were on the run since Monday following the record €107 million cocaine seizure off the Cork coast were arrested yesterday outside Schull following a 48-hour manhunt.

Their arrests bring to three the number of people who were in custody last night following Monday’s record €107m haul which could have a potential street value of €200m.

The pair in their 40s are believed to be members of an English gang who tried to smuggle the cocaine into Dunlough Bay, through Ireland and onwards to Europe, on Monday.
