Customs seizes 10,000 litres of fuel in Dublin

The Revenue Customs Service has made another seizure of illegal fuel.

Some 10,000 litres of fuel have been recovered from a filling station on the Blessington Road in Dublin this afternoon.

It follows the recovery of 158,000 litres of fuel, a substantial amount of cash and a tanker in a major operation in counties Dublin, Louth and Galway yesterday.

A spokesperson said today's seizure was not linked to yesterday's operation.

Consumers are being urged to stick to long-established filling stations in order to avoid using laundered fuel.
