Police have seized what they believe could be one of Northern Ireland's largest ever hauls of herbal cannabis. The discovery was the result of a joint operation by the Police Service of Northern Ireland, An Garda Siochana and Irish customs officials under the banner of the Cross Border Joint Agency Task Force. "With the assistance of our colleagues in An Garda Siochana and Revenue Commissioners we have undoubtedly prevented the significant harm that would have resulted from this huge consignment of drugs reaching the streets of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland today." "This demonstrates the practical application of the Cross Border Joint Agency Task Force."
