A Louth farmer has been convicted after Gardaí staged a controlled €1.6m drugs delivery to his farmyard in a long-running drug trafficking investigation.
A farmer from County Louth has been found guilty of drug trafficking offences after An Garda Síochána executed a controlled delivery of a package containing €1.6 million worth of drugs to his farmyard, local court reports say.
Jurors concluded that the defendant played a key role in a wider criminal network that arranged for illicit drugs to be dispatched in a package that was intercepted and then formally delivered under police supervision. Gardaí deployed the controlled delivery as part of an intelligence-led investigation targeting organised drug distribution.
Prosecutors presented evidence showing that the suspect’s farmyard had been used as a collection point for the consignment. After the coordinated delivery and surveillance, investigators moved to make an arrest and bring charges connected to the possession and intent to supply controlled substances.
The conviction follows a complex operation involving careful monitoring of the parcel’s movement and interactions with suspects. Law enforcement sources say operations of this nature disrupt the illegal supply chain and help prevent large quantities of controlled drugs from reaching the streets.
Further details on sentencing and any additional charges related to the case are expected to be disclosed at a later hearing, as the judicial process continues.
