Two charged in €1m heroin haul after Dutch tip-off

TWO men were charged last night in connection with a heroin seizure worth €1 million after a tip-off from Dutch police.

It emerged yesterday that 5kg of heroin were seized by members of the Garda National Drugs Unit after a car was stopped at the M50 toll plaza on Thursday evening.

The two men, in their late 20s, were arrested at the scene. In a follow-up operation a 47-year-old man was arrested in Newbridge, Co Kildare.
