A TEENAGER WAS arrested this morning after a €140,000 drugs bust in Clondalkin.
The 18-year-old was arrested when gardaí carried out an operation in west Dublin.
As part of ongoing operations targeting the sale and supply of drugs in west Dublin, members of the Ronanstown Drugs Unit carried out an operation at Collinstown Park in Clondalkin.
During the operation, a 18-year-old man was searched and found in possession of cocaine with an estimated street value in excess of €50,000. The man was arrested and is currently detained at Ronanstown Garda station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
During a follow-up operation gardaí searched a house in the Ronanstown area and seized MDMA with an estimated value thought to be in excess of €90,000.
The investigation is ongoing, but the operation is not linked to the seizure of firearms and cocaine

Hon the guards in ronanstown
@bob: hon the guards!! They’re fighting the good fight at the moment!
@bob: bate the scrotes yaaaaaaaaaaa
50,000e. Street value. I don’t know which street they are buying their cocaine on because it isn’t the same street I’m buying mine on.
@WinstonSmith: no weight mentioned…so how do you know what price per gram Is? And whether it is dearer or cheaper than your coke? Stuff has your brain frazzled.
@BigNuts: he is just badly quoting Brenda Gleason in The Guard.
@WinstonSmith: Aren’t you just such a great man
@BigNuts: Not a big fan of ‘The Guard’ then BigNuts?
@BigNuts: My guess would be half a kilo the Gardai’s street value estimate tends to be double what the dealers would pay.
@BigNuts: big time ,what an ass. trying to be the big man,I’d say that lad is about 19 himself
@WinstonSmith:
Why does the headline not read “teen caught with 140k worth of drugs” why highlight the cocaine ??
@Ollie Lad: or “teen found in possession of 50k worth of drugs”
@Ollie Lad: because it sounds cooler
@Ollie Lad: because apparently mdma is an acceptable recreational drug now.
Lock him up and throw away the key
@Charles Coughlan: —–And what would the lawyers do then, poor things?
Are any of ye commentors parents?Is this smart rhetoric typical of ‘adults’ who just scoff all this news away. Streets in every town awash with very depressed young ‘,dependants’. Joking aside, try coping with the fallout in your family …..coke or skunk, ecstasy etc…..all of them toxic and controlled by b.stards.
Not really News anymore is it…

Weight
So
Quite sure it didnt belong to the teen… He/She gonna be in trouble..
