Two men arrested following seizure of 500kg of cannabis herb in Clare

Inquiries are now underway by gardaí and Revenue to gather information about the shipment and the people concerned

As part of this operation, an arrest team was organised from gardaí in the Clare and Limerick divisions.

More than half a tonne of cannabis herb, worth an estimated €10m on the street, was seized in Co Clare in a “controlled delivery” operation by Revenue and An Garda Síochána.

It is understood Revenue detected the shipment on arrival and contacted gardaí to help set up a controlled delivery to bring the consignment to its intended destination.
