Three to appear in court after €250,000 drug seizure

Three men in their twenties are due to appear in court today in connection with a drug seizure in south Dublin.

Three and a half kilos of cocaine was seized in Rathmines on Thursday afternoon as part of a joint operation between Customs Officers and the Garda National Drugs Unit.

The drugs - with an estimated street value of €250,000 - had been imported as a cargo consignment through Dublin airport from Peru.

The arrests were made when the three arrived to take possession of their haul.
