Jessica MageeA man who flew into Dublin Airport carrying over €500,000 worth of cannabis has been jailed for four and a half years. Adrian Mah Yew Beng (40) told gardaí he thought there might be cigarettes in the two locked suitcases he was carrying, but that he hadn’t packed them himself. Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Beng was stopped by customs officers earlier this year after he was spotted acting in a suspicious and evasive manner. Garda Peter Elliot told Diarmuid Collins BL, prosecuting, that Beng initially told gardaí he was coming from Thailand. Gda Elliot agreed with John Byrne SC, defending, that Beng had pleaded very early and had been cooperative with gardaí.
