The PSNI have hit a major criminal network with a “large footprint across the UK and Ireland” following substantial seizures of drugs and cash at airports in the North.

The hauls follow two seizures in the last week, on both sides of the border, as part of a joint Garda-PSNI operation targeting a British-Dutch supply network shipping drugs in through ports.
