Man jailed on drugs and ammunition charge

A father of two who transported almost €34,000 worth of cocaine and 249 rounds of viable ammunition almost six years ago has been jailed for four years.

Robert Hunt, aged 35, moved to England for work shortly after being charged by gardaí in 2008, but returned voluntarily this year to face the case.

He pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to possession of the ammunition and 485 grammes of cocaine, worth €33,978, for sale or supply on Old Cabra Road, Dublin, on November 24, 2008.
