A woman in her 50s was arrested at Dublin Airport after authorities discovered $1.5 million worth of meth and cannabis in her luggage. The drugs were vacuum-sealed and hidden in her suitcases, according to police. The woman’s nationality remains unclear, with authorities stating she could be either Canadian or Irish. The seizure occurred during a flight from Canada to an unspecified destination.

Dublin police confirmed the drugs were found during routine screening, though they did not disclose the exact origin of the shipment. The case highlights ongoing efforts to intercept illegal narcotics at international borders. The woman is currently in custody and is expected to face charges related to drug trafficking.

The incident underscores the challenges of combating transnational drug smuggling. Canadian authorities have not yet commented on the case, but the use of advanced detection methods suggests increased vigilance. The seizure also reflects the growing role of international cooperation in tackling organized crime.

The amount of drugs seized is among the largest reported in recent months, raising concerns about the scale of illicit drug trade across borders. Further details on the investigation are expected in the coming days.
