Finland: Helsinki police seize 40kg hashish

News Room Finland

Friday 09 Mar 2007

---
Helsinki police said Thursday they had seized 40 kilogrammes of hashish
at the port of Turku in early February.

The drugs were found in a stash built in the place of the backseat of an
estate driven by a Dutch man.

"In Finland's scale, we are talking about a sizeable shipment,"
Inspector Juha Piippo told the Finnish News Agency (STT).

Earlier in the week, Finnish police announced they had seized 30kg of
hashish in Sipoo in what reportedly was the biggest cache discovered
last year.

Inspector Piippo said the cannabis seized from the Dutchman had been
bound for the capital region's market, adding the Helsinki street value
was at least 250,000 euros.

"It goes without saying that a seizure of this quantity will be seen on
the street for quite some time."

The Dutch national, 60, is held suspected of an aggravated drug offence
and will in due course face the charge before the Turku district court.
