Police in the North have seized over 11-point-5 million euro worth of cocaine.
It's the largest haul of its kind in Northern Ireland.
Officers discovered the drugs when they stopped a lorry on Monday night in the Jonesborough area of south Armagh. A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene, and he has since been released on bail.
Newry, Mourne & Down District Commander Superintendent Norman Haslett said: “Slieve Gullion Neighbourhood Policing Team officers, whilst on routine patrol in the Jonesborough area of South Armagh on Monday evening, 11th December had reason to stop a suspicious lorry. “A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a large quantity of suspected cocaine concealed within boxes containing frozen meat products."
“A man, aged in his 30s, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of a number of driving-related offences. He has since been released on police bail to allow for further enquiries as the investigation continues.
This is the largest seizure of suspected cocaine in Northern Ireland by the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The sophistication of the concealment method and sheer quantity of the drugs gives an indication of the scale of criminality involved."
