Drug mules ditched €200k drugs and walked to Dublin
The chase was outlined in court yesterday at the sentencing of former soldier Joseph Farrell, aged 46, of Funshinagh, Four Rds, Co Roscommon, who admitted having the drugs for sale or supply on May 11, 2007.
Detective Garda George Garvey told Roscommon Circuit Court Jason Bertles and Tom Quinn had been contacted by Farrell on May 11, 2007, and asked to collect a parcel with cannabis in it. He told the men to head towards Dublin and they would be paid €500 each.
