Facebook page threatens vigilante strikes on drug dealers

Gardaí are investigating an assault and posts on a Facebook page which warn of vigilantism against drug dealers in a Cork suburb.

A senior Garda spokesman confirmed last night that they are aware of page which was set up in recent days, and which has posted several threats of direct action against dealers and users in the Mahon suburb.

Its first post read: “Time to clear the heroin scum out of Mahon.”
