AS PART OF AN operation code named “Coco” officers from Revenue’s Customs Service, seized 1,800 unstamped cigarettes, 3.5 kilogrammes of roll-your-own tobacco, €12,200 in cash and a commercial vehicle in Cork this morning.
The cigarettes and tobacco had a retail value of €2,463 and a potential loss to the Exchequer of €1,946.
With the assistance of Revenue’s cash and tobacco sniffer dog “Harvey”, officers executed a search warrant on a private residence on the North side of Cork City and seized “Mayfair” cigarettes and “Samson” and “Golden Virginia” tobacco.
The cash was detained under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2005.
An Irish male in his fifties is being questioned. Investigations are ongoing and a file is being prepared for the DPP.

Well done CoCo. Hope they give a reward instead of throwing you that stupid tennis ball. You deserve more. Are you in a union ? no ?? Good doggie. Keep it that way. They just fu*k everyone over except themselves.
Coco was the operations name Harvey is the digs name. Harvey Keitel is his full title
That’s a ruff statement
Did you not see his acting in pup fiction L-PLate? He’s great.
But, he’s a nicotine addict.
Ah the poor hookers… They have earned that money god damn it…
Thought Harvey was The Wolf?
I wonder does he do knixers, i lost a bag of tobacco somewhere in the house, cant find it anywhere.
A €2,000 loss to the exchequer? Give us a break, junkies openly dealing heroin every day in broad daylight on Talbot Street, surely the Gardai that openly ignore this every day have cost this country a hell of a lot more than two grand in wages….
Stephen I pass talbot street twice daily and in fairness the guards do sometimes walk by dealers but I’ve seen them arrest a lot of dealers in that area as well , they find it very hard to actually catch them red handed as they usually keep it in their mouth and swallow it as soon as a guard comes near I’ve even seen 1 lad taking a bag of gear out from where the sun don’t shine if ye catch me drift and that was just at corner of Talbot street and O Connell St at lunch time on a Friday with hundreds of shoppers, workers and tourists walking by, they need the power to ban these people from ares altogether even for loitering and if they break order do 5 year to the day in the joy, we need judges to use the sentencing powers they have and not suspend any part of sentences given ,wish they would have referendum on this and actually listen to the people for once and once and for all stop these gougers in their tracks
Good dog Harvey & also well done to the Revenue Officers involved.
Is there no limits to what this dog can Do!!! Can I borrow him to see if my wife is cheating???
Nice work by Customs.
Probably the only public servant who earned his keep this week.
Mongrel
Fair play to him the only public servant that is actually competent at their job
Must be a slow news day or did The Journal Aran Islands feed break in here?
I need a dog like Harvey..
Go to your local rescue shelter, bounce a ball and whoever goes mad for it, take them home and train them. Most sniffer dogs dont have a breeding line and come from hyper unwanted tennis ball junkie dogs. You can train them easily to find scents at Basic level. For Harvey level you need 9 month course for dog and then handler. Good luck.
Does Harvey sniff out PS4′s?
Little mutt deserves poisoning
And so do you……..
Thanks Mr Troll
Poxy Dog !
Do you know the breeding line of Harvey? Not dissimilar to a dog we bred.
have your say
