Although five arrests have been made, gardaí suspect second group of smugglers brought cocaine ashore and transported it to Northern Ireland
Although five arrests have been made, gardaí suspect second group of smugglers brought cocaine ashore and transported it to Northern IrelandAlthough five men have been arrested in the Republic, gardaí now strongly suspect another group of criminals they were working with managed to land the drugs and transport the haul across the country and into Britain.
Four men arrested in the early hours of Monday, and who are still being questioned, are suspected of being involved in the transfer of the drugs at sea from the Maltese-registered bulk carrier, MV Royal, on to a Rib. However, the group that then took possession of the drugs on shore has, to date, evaded detection.
One of those arrested is a 30-year-old fisherman from Derry, while the others, who are in their 30s and 40s, include two men from Scotland and a Serbian national living in Manchester. All are being detained under organised crime legislation which allows gardaí to hold suspects for up to seven days.
