On 6 July 2026, approximately 83.5kgs of herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of €1,670,000 were seized at a storage unit in the Little Island Industrial Estate, Co Cork, during a controlled delivery operation. Han Xiaochen, a 30-year-old Chinese national resident in Birmingham, England, was arrested at the scene by Gardaí from the GNDOCB and Cork City Divisional Drugs Unit as part of a joint operation with Revenue Customs Service. He was charged with possession of cannabis and possession for the purpose of sale or supply, and made no reply to the charges at Cork District Court.
