Man found flushing heroin down toilet

Gardaí searching a house for drugs found a man on a phone flushing heroin down the toilet.

Detective Garda Peter Kennedy testified yesterday at Cork District Court he retrieved two bags of heroin from the toilet and said the phone being used by the accused contained incriminating texts.

Keith Walsh’s texts included several references to being available in town at various different times “to score”, which was taken to be a reference to getting a heroin deal.
