Revenue and customs officers at Dublin Airport seize crystal meth and herbal cannabis worth close to €950,000 (or around £800,000–£1m, depending on the currency used by outlets) after drugs are found in a passenger’s baggage. A woman is detained in connection with the find.
The drugs are discovered on luggage from a passenger arriving from Canada, with the items described as vacuum-packed. Multiple outlets report the use of a detector dog called “Charlie,” which helps locate the concealed substances. Reported quantities are consistent across coverage: about 29kg of herbal cannabis and about 6kg of crystal methamphetamine.
While all outlets describe the same seizure and detention, they differ mainly in emphasis and reporting details, including the estimated street value presented in euros versus pounds and the specific wording around how the baggage is linked to the passenger’s arrival from Canada.
