Two kilos of cocaine worth €180,000 washed up on two different beaches in Cork
Separately, a boat has been impounded at Magheraroarty and the pier was sealed off to the public.
The two previous packages, weighing 40kg, were washed up at Ballyhiernan Beach in Fanad and the other at Tramore in Dunfanaghy. Meanwhile, gardaí in Cork are to liaise with colleagues in Donegal to see if drugs washed up on the south coast are from the same €2 million consignment of cocaineDetectives in Cork recovered two kilos of cocaine with a street value of €180,000 when members of the public found the drugs in two separate occasions – one discovered on a beach in east Cork in early June and one on a beach nearer Cork city, approximately a week later.
“We’re satisfied that the two Cork seizures – a kilo of cocaine in each case – are from the same consignment in that they are similarly wrapped in brown paper inside plastic wrapping – both packages were intact despite being in the water for some time,” said the source.
