At approximately 1.30pm, customs officers conducted a search of a horsebox which had disembarked a ferry. During the course of this search an estimated 163kg of suspected cocaine was discovered.

Wexford gardaí attended the scene and arrested two men, aged in their 20s and 30s, in relation to the seizure.

Both men are currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996, at a garda station in the Wexford district.

Investigations are ongoing, gardaí said.
