Man escapes jail as ‘Purple Haze’ €13k drugs stash seized

A house called Purple Haze was the location for a drugs seizure in Cork and yesterday the man responsible for the €13,000 stash got a suspended jail term.

Garda Rory O’Connell arrested 32-year-old Polish national, Kacper Wnek and charged him with having the cannabis for sale or supply at his home at Purple Haze, Lehenaghmore, on the outskirts of Cork City, on Thursday October 1.

Purple Haze is the name of a particular type of cannabis named after a song from the 1960s by Jimi Hendrix.
