Gardaí target teen gangs on Cork city street

There have been several arrests and drugs detections following a Garda crackdown on antisocial behaviour on one of Cork’s busiest pedestrian streets.

It follows complaints from traders in the Winthrop St area of the city centre, who said the behaviour of teenage gangs congregating on the street was affecting business.

Details of the antisocial activity were outlined at a meeting of Cork City Council late last month.
