A man is arrested after police seize an estimated €1.2 million worth of cocaine at Cork Airport. About 12 kilograms of the drug are found concealed in a passenger’s baggage following checks connected to a flight arriving at the airport.
The cocaine is discovered after a flight from Portugal, with both outlets reporting the seizure and the weight of the drugs. Irish Independent reports the drugs are located in baggage and emphasizes the estimated street value, while Irish Mirror also describes the same concealment and arrest but frames the incident as occurring on Monday. Both accounts present the matter as an airport drug interception involving a specific incoming route from Portugal.
