Cork District Court heard the man was allegedly caught red-handed with the stash of heroin when taken into custody to a garda station on Tuesday.

A man facing a charge arising of a knifepoint robbery at a shop and another charge of having €5,000 worth of heroin on his person was refused bail on Wednesday at Cork District Court.

Judge Mary Dorgan said the prosecution established its objection to bail based on the seriousness of the charges and that he was allegedly caught red-handed with the stash of heroin when taken into custody to a garda station on Tuesday.
