Customs and Immigration Officials said they made the significant drugs seizure on Friday 24 May.
Pictured: Customs said the drugs were seized from a vehicle that had travelled by ferry from Poole.
In a statement, they said that they seized “approximately 9.7 kilograms of cannabis resin and a commercial quantity of powder, suspected to be MDMA (ecstasy), from a vehicle driven by a Polish national, which had arrived by ferry from Poole.”
The estimated local street value of the cannabis, government officials said, is around £197,000.
The news comes following two significant hauls in recent weeks.
The first, on 1 May, involved cannabis worth up to £210,000 seized from a traveller’s suitcase.
Just days later, Customs said that cannabis packages worth £240,000 have been seized from the car of a ferry passenger.
