Man texted mother to hide drugs during garda raid

A man who texted his mother warning her to get the "stuff" out of the hole in his mattress during a garda search for drugs and ammunition at his home has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Daniel Doyle (aged 21), told gardaí he kept the ammunition "just in case" because he felt his life was under threat due to his drug dealing and his mother was not aware the items were in the house.
