Some of the 5 million euro (£4.4 million) of cocaine found in a "torpedo" on a beach in Ireland.
A “torpedo” carrying about 5 million euro (£4.4 million) of cocaine has been found on a beach in Ireland.
The so-called torpedo was found on a beach.
Customs chiefs said officers were tipped off to a suspicious item on the shore near Liscannor in Co Clare, not far from the tourist hotspot of the Cliffs of Moher and other renowned surfing spots.
There was about 75kg of the drug inside the 6ft metal tube. Small bales of cocaine, each about a foot long and weighing about 1kg, were found wrapped in plastic.
