Revenue Busts €365K Herbal Cannabis Shipment Disguised As 'Kids Toys' En Route To Kildare

The parcels were destined for addresses in Kildare, Dublin, Wicklow, Laois and the North.

Revenue officers have seized over 365 thousand euro in herbal cannabis this week.

It's after examining parcels which had originated in the USA, Canada, Thailand and Spain, and they were variously declared as 'kids toys', 'kids puzzles' and 'tracksuits'.

The parcels were destined for addresses in Kildare, Dublin, Wicklow, Laois and the North.

Separately, 24 thousand euro worth of cannabis and butane honey oil was seized from packages in Athlone, with the help of detector dog Enzo.
