Bid to establish if teens selling drugs worth €15,000 were working alone

GARDAÍ were yesterday trying to establish if two 15-year-olds caught with a substantial amount of cocaine were working for another dealer or themselves.

Senior officers said it would mark a new low if the children were actually running such a large-scale operation on their own.

“We’d have to say what the hell is going on if two 15-year-olds are involved in this level of drug dealing. It’s absolutely frightening,” said a garda source.
