People as young as 15 ‘owned by drugs gangs’ over debts

A LIMERICK taxi driver who made a drugs drop to help pay off a debt was jailed yesterday for four years at Limerick Circuit Court.

Earlier, the inaugural meeting of the Limerick City Joint Policing Committee was told drugs gangs in the city now “own” people as young as 15 over unpaid debts.

At Limerick Circuit Court, Anthony Terry, aged 32, of Glasgow Park, admitted possessing 10kg of cannabis worth €40,000 for sale or supply.
