Gardai have uncovered €1.36m worth of cannabis shipped to Ireland from Spain in a container load of oranges. One warehouse worker has been charged with unlawful possession of cannabis on March 31 and that he had it for sale or supply at Cornstown, Ashbourne, Co. Dublin.
It followed an operation by officers attached to the Revenue Customs Service, the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, Coolock and Raheny District Drugs Units and the Meath Divisional Drugs Unit.
Allegedly, the accused paid a €5,000 customs fee for a container to be released from the port and that he was in the warehouse when a logistics company delivered the crates.
