Ireland charges two with drug trafficking after seizing €8m worth of heroin

Two men were arrested for having heroin worth over €8m and a plane at a Dublin airport.

The police said that two men, one in his forties and the other in his sixties, will go to court on Monday morning.

On Friday, a small plane was stopped and taken by authorities at Weston Airport, as reported by Irish broadcaster RTÉ.

This happened after they found 60kg of heroin sealed in bags with no air in the plane.

The two people who were supposed to go to court were arrested for selling drugs and held at a police station in County Kildare.

The police said they are still looking into what happened.
