Teen sold cocaine to undercover garda
A suspected teenage drug dealer sold cocaine to an undercover Garda three times in four days, a court heard today.
The 17-year-old north Dublin boy was charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act at the Dublin Children’s Court with possessing cocaine for the purposes of sale or supply to another, at Knowth Court, in Ballymun, on October 24, 25 and 27 last year.
Judge Bryan Smyth was told that the teen allegedly sold the cocaine worth €300 in total to an undercover Garda.
Judge Smyth remanded the teen, who was accompanied to court by his father, on bail to appear again on a date in June when he is to enter a plea to the charges.
The boy had been arrested by gardaí as part of Operation Towers, which targeted drug dealing in Ballymun.
