Gardaí arrest two in Portugal over Cork cannabis haul
The pair were brought to Bandon Garda Station.
DETECTIVES FROM WEST Cork’s divisional drug unit have arrested two people in Lisbon, Portugal, in connection with the seizure of €187,000 worth of cannabis in Dunmanway.
The unit discovered cannabis herb and cannabis plants during a search of a house in the west Cork town on 18 January, 2016.
Four men and a woman were arrested and detained at Bandon and Bantry Garda Stations as part of the operation.
They were later released without being charged and a file was prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Yesterday the gardaí executed the European Arrest Warrants on a man and a woman in the Portuguese capital.
The pair have since been brought to Bandon Garda Station and they are due to appear before Bantry District Court today.
