‘A lot of damage’ prevented by €45k heroin seizure

Gardaí have made one of the biggest heroin seizures in Cork this year, which they say “would have done a lot of damage”.

A senior Garda source said members of the Cork City Garda Division’s dedicated heroin unit saw a woman acting suspiciously in the Sunday’s Well area of the city on Thursday.

The gardaí stopped and searched the woman, who is aged 30, at the Rope Walk area and discovered she was concealing a quarter of a kilo of heroin, with a street value of about €45,000.
