€7 million euro drug bust in Belfast Port

€7 million euro worth of cannabis has been seized in Belfast Port overnight.

300 kilogrammes of the drug was found hidden in a consignment of soft drinks.

The NCA – which deals with organised crime – says it’s a ‘massive haul’ which would have ended up on the streets of Northern Ireland.
