Irish Revenue officers seize large quantities of crystal methamphetamine and herbal cannabis at Dublin Airport, after detecting drugs in a passenger’s luggage. Reports say officers use a detector dog, named Charlie, which alerts them to vacuum-packed items.
The seized drugs include 29kg of cannabis and 6kg of crystal meth, with one outlet estimating a value of more than £814,000. Other reporting puts the total value at over €950,000, reflecting differences in currency conversion and valuation methods.
The outlets agree on the broad details of the operation—detection at Dublin Airport, the involvement of a detector dog called Charlie, and the quantities of meth and cannabis found in the passenger’s baggage. However, they vary in the reported overall street value and the specific figure used to express it, citing different amounts in pounds versus euros.
