TWO PEOPLE IN their 20s have been charged and a third has been arrested after €245,000 worth of cocaine was seized at Dublin Airport.
The seizure was made shortly before 8pm on Sunday evening, when customs officers told gardaí that they had detained three passengers who had arrived from mainland Europe earlier that day on suspicion of drug trafficking.
The passengers, two men and a woman, had allegedly ingested a combined 280 pellets of suspected cocaine.
