Father and son drug bust ‘linked to North gang’

GARDAÍ believe a father and son arrested in a massive drug bust in Donegal are working for a big criminal gang in the North.

Detectives suspect that while the pair may have connections with subversive organisations, the drug trafficking business was purely a criminal enterprise.

Forensic tests were underway yesterday into the 50kg of herbal cannabis seized in Falcarragh, Co Donegal, on Monday. It is not yet known the strength of the drug.
