Five men still in garda custody in connection with major cocaine seizure in Wexford

Five men remain in Garda custody following a major cocaine seizure.

Further arrests are expected following the multi-million euro haul.

This cocaine was found in a rural farming area in Wexford on Monday and is part of an international operation targeting drug traffickers.

The drugs are estimated to be worth between €6 and 8million.

Follow up searches were carried out in Wexford and Dublin, where a large amount of cash was also seized.

In total five men have been detained and further arrests are expected.

The investigation is targeting drug traffickers who have been using encrypted messaging apps to communicate globally.

Gardaí, along with Europol, will reveal the details of the operation this morning.
