Cocaine and cannabis allegedly seized from man in Cork to be sent for forensic testing 

Man faces four charges under the Misuse of Drugs Act

Two charges are for having drugs for his own use, namely cocaine and cannabis, and having both drugs for the purpose of sale or supply to others.

A man facing charges in relation to the alleged seizure of cannabis worth €40,000 and cocaine worth over €10,000 at Farranree in Cork had the case against him adjourned on Monday until November 10.

On the application of Sergeant John Dineen, the lengthy adjournment was granted by Judge William Aylmer to allow time for the seized materials to be sent to Forensic Science Ireland for examination.

Szymon Nakielski, aged 24, of Flowerhill, Rushbrooke Manor, Cobh, Co Cork, was arrested last month and charged by Garda Kian O’Sullivan after it was alleged that he was stopped while driving a car through Farranree.

Nakielski is charged with four counts under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Two charges are for having drugs for his own use, namely cocaine and cannabis, and having both drugs for the purpose of sale or supply to others.

All charges relate to Knockpogue Avenue, Farranree, Cork, on June 7.

He was initially remanded in custody on June 9 with consent to bail but one of the conditions was an independent surety of €5,000 of which a cash lodgement of €3,000 was required. He was later released on bail when there was compliance with all of the conditions.

Sergeant John Dineen said directions were awaited from the Director of Public Prosecutions. It is anticipated they will await the outcome of forensic analysis of the alleged cocaine and cannabis.
