Crack cocaine found as 130 dealers snared by undercover gardaí

UP to 130 drug dealers including 15 cocaine dealers and one crack cocaine dealer have been caught in Dublin following a six-week undercover garda operation.

Most of the street suppliers were selling heroin, but the remainder were caught dealing ecstasy or cannabis.

"We're delighted this is being done. Heroin and cocaine are our big problem. Crack cocaine is emerging and the chances are it will get worse," said long-time community activist Sean Lambe of the Inner City Organisations Network (ICON).
