OVER €4 MILLION worth of drugs were seized by customs officers on Sunday.
The drugs were found in a vehicle that was importing plant machinery.
Around 60 kilos of herbal cannabis, 33 kilos of cocaine, 2.2 kilos of MDMA and more than 72,000 ecstasy tablets were seized.
It happened in the border/midlands/west region, but no exact location is being given at this point.
The vehicle had been profiled by Revenue officers at the national profiling centre.
Investigations are ongoing with a view to prosecution.

Excellent seizure Customs.
We have a profiling centre ?
If they randomly found that much you’d have to wonder how much more is being shipped around.
Must be getting boomier somewhere.
@Cormac Laffan: Just in: The IW/Luas drivers joint xmas party has been called off.

Twill be a dry weekend in the midlands, hai.
Since it’s maths week:
33kg of cocaine. If 400g of “flour” and one egg are needed to make 24 pancakes, how many kg will remain if 1.5 dozen eggs are available with unlimited access to milk and other ingredients?
@Sean O’Donovan BRILLIANT HAHAHAHAHA
@Linda Hughes: Someone’s up to speed on Family Guy/Urban dictionary references ;)
Pun possibly intended.
@Sean O’ Donovan: 25.8?
@Rodan: Spot on, great work.
It’s ok, i’ll still be able to find drugs, it’s too easy..I never understand why these stories are published, it’s as if the Gardai want to be congratulated for this result, as soon as that haul got confiscated, another is on it’s way… Oh no John got busted, now i’ll just have to buy from Jim.. Makes no difference to the drug user.. Politicians are morons if they think this has any effect.
Investigations ongoing with a view to prosecution… Lol, like they may not prosecute? This is great…
Sounds like a tip off
have your say
