Three men have been released after being questioned by gardaí in Dublin following the seizure of 2m cigarettes with an estimated street value of €860,000.

Gardaí and customs officers made the seizure as the contraband cigarettes were being loaded onto a truck at Greenogue Business Park in Newcastle yesterday.

The cigarettes entered the country in a container at Dublin Port a number of days ago.

The men, two aged 44 and the other aged 38, were arrested at the scene.

Two trucks, a van and a car were also seized.
