Gardaí net €1.8m of cannabis in headboards

GARDAÍ said they uncovered a “new method” for concealing drugs after they netted €1.8 million worth of cannabis.

Some 200kg of the drugs were found packed inside bed headboards which had been carefully carved out. The drugs were located after suspicious gardaí sought the use of the Customs X-ray scanner located in Dublin Port.

Gardaí said the operation had dealt a significant blow to a gang operating out of the Clondalkin area of west Dublin.
