Lithuanian jailed for dealing heroin after return to Ireland

A Lithuanian man who obstructed a drugs search in Tralee, Co Kerry, gave an undertaking to leave Ireland in seven days and not return for 10 years but he came back and was caught dealing heroin in Cork city.

He was jailed yesterday for three years by Judge Brian O’Callaghan at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

Detective Sergeant Lar O’Brien testified at Cork Circuit Criminal Court that following a surveillance operation the accused was seen going to an overgrown area near the Marina and retrieving a concealed jar containing almost €2,000 worth of heroin.
