A MAN has been arrested following the discovery of more than €14m worth of cocaine at Rosslare Europort in Co. Wexford.
The 202.5kg of drugs, with an estimated value of approximately €14.2m, were discovered during a search of a lorry that had arrived by ferry from Dunkirk, France.
"A man in his 30s has been arrested and is currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996 at a Garda station in Co. Wexford," read a garda statement.
"Investigations are ongoing."
The latest seizure follows the discovery of 150kg of cocaine — valued at around €10.5m — at the port on Monday.
The drugs were discovered after a search of a truck and trailer unit revealed an elaborate lead-lined concealment within the vehicle's fuel tank.
A man in his 50s was arrested in connection with the discovery.
