Three people have been arrested after €1.57 million worth of cocaine and herbal cannabis was seized at Dublin Airport. 

Revenue seized 1.3kg of cocaine and 74kg of herbal cannabis at the airport on Wednesday following three separate operations. 

The cocaine, valued at €91,000, was discovered when Revenue officers stopped and searched a passenger who travelled from Lisbon. 

A man in his 30s was arrested and appeared before the courts yesterday. 

Separately on Wednesday, Revenue officers seized €1.4 million worth of cannabis when two passengers flew in from Dubai and Abu Dhabi separately, both originating from Thailand. 

Both had roughly 37kg in vacuum-packed baggage. 

A man in his 40s and a woman in her 20s were arrested and have since been before the courts. 

Investigations into all of these seizures are ongoing. 

The seizures are part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting the importation of illegal drugs.
