€15,500 in cash seized at Rosslare Port
Revenue Officers seized €15,500 in cash when they stopped and searched two vehicles arriving in Rosslare from Cherbourg in France last week.
The vehicles were stopped in routine operations.
The drivers, both Romanian nationals, were questioned and the cash, suspected to be the proceeds of, or intended for use in, criminal activity, was seized.
At a subsequent sitting of Gorey District Court, Judge Gerard Haughton granted a three-month detention order to allow Revenue to investigate further.
