'You see it all in this job': Cork gardaí sniffed out cannabis as it burned in house fire

A man admitted at the time that the drugs were his

The accused said that he had bought the drugs for €500 during the covid-19 pandemic.

A man whose drugs stash was discovered when gardaí smelled burning cannabis as they attended the scene of a house fire has avoided a conviction for possession in the district court.

Inspector Tony O’Sullivan told Mallow District Court that gardaí and fire service personnel attended a small house fire that had broken out at a property in Parkview, Charleville, Co. Cork on April 10, 2020.
