Revenue have seized cannabis, cash, alcohol and cigarettes following a number of separate intelligence-led operations in Dublin this week.

At the weekend, officers from Revenue's Customs Service seized 30kgs of herbal cannabis, concealed in food stuff, with a street value of over €600,000 at Dublin Airport.

The drugs originated in Nigeria and were destined for an address in Dublin.
