Homenews

Holy smokes...

Gardaí have shared a photo of quite a haul discovered earlier on Thursday when a vehicle was pulled over. According to the Gardaí, the vehicle was originally pulled over for driving without its insurance details and tax disc. However, once Gardaí inspected the vehicle more closely, they discovered that it was being used to transport no fewer than 100,000 illegal cigarettes. In a post on their Twitter account, An Garda Síochána wrote: "Dublin Metropolitan Region Commercial Vehicle Unit. UK vehicle seized for no insurance and tax. Search of the vehicle found 100K illegal cigarettes - also seized. Court to follow for Road Traffic and Excise offences. No butts!!" The Gardaí also shared a photo of the vehicle's contents. https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/1027580619063275520
