Youth to be sentenced later for possessing €75,000 of heroin

A Dublin youth whose only male role models have spent "substantial" time in prison will be sentenced later for possessing €75,000 worth of heroin.

The 17-year-old was on bail for attempted robbery when gardaí caught him hiding the 378g heroin bag in his jacket, outside a Charlemont Street shop on September 9, 2008.
