Boy, 16, faces court for possessing €180,000 worth of heroin

A 16-year-old boy arrested in December in connection with a €180,000 heroin seizure was today served with a book of evidence and sent forward for trial to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

The boy, who cannot be identified because he is a juvenile, had been charged earlier at the Children’s Court with possessing heroin for sale or supply, at an address in Clondalkin, in Dublin, on a date last December.
