Dublin Port €260k drug seizure as detector dog Robbie has his day

Ace detector dog Robbie had his day after sniffing out illegal drugs hidden in a parcel at Dublin Port.

The clever pooch discovered 5 kgs of herbal cannabis in a package originating from The Netherlands.

In a separate find, Revenue officers also found 8 kgs of herbal cannabis concealed within electric heaters that originated in Spain.

In total, 13 kgs of the drugs estimated to be worth a whopping €260,000 were seized at the port yesterday.

Both consignments were destined for addresses in Dublin.

A Revenue spokesman said: "Investigations are ongoing.

"These seizures are part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting the importation of illegal drugs.

"If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on Confidential Phone Number 1800 295 295."
