Cocaine with an estimated street value of €280,000 has been seized at Kerry Airport, the largest seizure of its kind at the airport.

Officers from Revenue's Customs Service said as a result of risk profiling, they stopped and searched a man in his 60s as he arrived on a flight from Frankfurt.

The cocaine was in the lining of his rucksack.

The man, a UK national, has been arrested and investigations are ongoing.
