Three held over Dublin airport drugs find
Two women and a man were arrested after customs seized almost half a million euro of drugs at Dublin Airport.
In separate searches, officers recovered 20 kilos of herbal cannabis in a set of luggage, two kilos of cocaine in a false suitcase bottom and another one kilo of cocaine in shoes.
Two South African women were detained on Tuesday.
A 24-year-old who had flown from Johannesburg, through both Athens and Brussels, was held over the cannabis seizure while the 26-year-old flew from Santiago in Chile through Madrid.
A 40-year-old Portuguese man was also taken into custody after cocaine worth 70,000 euro was found in the soles of a pair of trainers. He arrived in Dublin off a flight from Senegal, west Africa. Officials said the three drugs finds were not related.
