GARDAÍ have warned head shop owners and staff that they face prosecution from today if they are found selling mind-altering drugs.

GARDAÍ have made “good progress” in identifying two men suspected of carrying out an arson attack on a head shop 10 days ago.

GARDAÍ are investigating whether criminal or paramilitary gangs are behind two arson attacks on head shops in Dublin’s north inner city in the last week.

THE owner of a store selling so-called legal highs yesterday claimed his head shop had been burned down in an arson attack.

The stimulant drug BZP which is promoted as a legal alternative to ecstasy and amphetamines was banned today by the Government.
