Revenue seize LSD worth over €200,000 at Dublin Airport
On Friday, 15/11/2024, as a result of risk profiling, Revenue officers seized approximately 5 grammes of LSD with an estimated value of over €200,000 at Dublin Airport. This consignment could have potentially been used to manufacture in excess of 20,000 doses.
The illicit drugs were discovered when Revenue officers searched the baggage of a passenger who had disembarked a flight from Amsterdam.
A man in his 20s was arrested by An Garda Síochána and has since been charged. He is due before the courts tomorrow.
Investigations are ongoing.
This seizure is part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting the importation of illegal drugs. If businesses, or members of the public, have any information regarding smuggling, they can contact Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.
