Five men, including four from Northern Ireland, have been arrested by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) on suspicion of attempting to import cocaine worth £1 million (€1.1). As part of the investigation, which was supported by the Garda and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), three lorries were seized. Four of those arrested are known to be based in Northern Ireland, while the other man is from the north of England. At the same time officers from the NCA and PSNI time carried out searches at a number of properties in Northern Ireland. The five men were questioned by NCA officers, and have now been released on bail.
