Mobiles give drug dealers away: garda

PUB and nightclub staff should watch out for people constantly using mobile phones on their premises as part of a strategy to combat drug dealing, according to a new garda document.

Staff should also monitor tables where a lot of people are coming and going and pay particular attention to toilets, where drugs are often consumed.

The document, Guidelines Regarding Drug Dealing on or in the Vicinity of Licensed Premises, was published yesterday by Assistant Commissioner for the Dublin Metropolitan Region, Al McHugh.
