Drugs seized at Rosslare Europort

Cannabis resin worth an estimated €319,000 have been seized at Rosslare today.

Officers from Revenue's Customs Service seized 53kg of cannabis resin after they stopped and searched a car that was disembarking a ferry from France at Rosslare Europort.

The seizure was made on foot of routine profiling.

Revenue's new sniffer dog, Ralph, who joined the Customs team two weeks ago, gave an indication.

The vehicle was then scanned by the Customs X-Ray Scanner and drugs were discovered concealed in the vehicle.

A Ukranian national was arrested and taken to Wexford Garda Station.
