Heroin, also known as diacetylmorphine and diamorphine, is a white or brown powder derived from the sap of poppy plants. It acts as an analgesic drug and is primarily used as a recreational substance due to its highly addictive and potentially dangerous euphoric effects.
According to reports, security outfits at Weston Airport intercepted a light aircraft in Dublin and seized about 60kg of heroin. The estimated street value of the seized heroin is supposedly more than €8 million ($8.6 million USD). The drug was discovered vacuum-packed in a plane, leading to the arrest of two individuals.
