More than €2m worth of drugs have been seized in three separate incidents in Dublin and Wexford.

A 40-year-old man was arrested after more than 71kg of herbal cannabis, worth an estimated €1.4m, was discovered during the search of a warehouse in Dublin.

The search was part of an intelligence led operation by Revenue's Customs Service and the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.

In Wexford, a 38-year-old man was arrested after 3kg of the same drug, with an estimated value of more than €73,000, was found during a joint operation between Revenue’s Customs Service, the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau and the Wexford Divisional Drugs Unit.

Yesterday, more than 30kg of herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of €600,000 was found during the search of a cargo assignment at Dublin Airport.

Detector dog Enzo was involved in the discovery.

The cargo had arrived into Ireland from Spain and was destined for an address in Dublin.
