Northsider arrested following the seizure of cannabis worth €600,000.

Gardaí in Cork have arrested a man following the seizure of drugs worth €600,000 on the outskirts of the city yesterday.

Officers from the Cork City divisional drugs squad stopped a car in Glanmire yesterday afternoon as part of an ongoing operation and recovered 32kg of herbal cannabis worth and estimated €380,000.

They arrested a man in his 30s from the northside of the city and brought him to Cobh garda station for questioning. He can be held for up to seven days before being charged or released.

In a follow up operation, divisional drugs squad officers along with gardaí from Cobh searched a house in the Carrigtwohill area and found 35kg of cannabis resin with a street value of about €220,000.

Gardaí believe the haul was destined for the Cork market. The seizure is one of the biggest in the south this year.

I would be more worried about the heroin according to someone on the PROC junkies were shooting up in the doorway of the church on the Grand Parade yesterday evening.

i can't believe they're still busting people for weed. would they ever fuck off and spend their time looking for proper drug dealers to bust.

Some very dodgy people are making money off it though. To decriminalise and regulate it is probably the only way to take it out of the hands of the criminals.

that will never happen in this country. not in our lifetime anyway.

I suppose most will be incinerated. Seems like an awful waste of gange.
I had a dream once where I found a bale of cannabis while walking on the beach. I threw it in the boot of my car and kept it in my garage. I was well pissed off when I woke up.
