Heroin Find Leads To Arrest
A total of eight kilos of heroin were discovered during a police search last night and a 28-year-old man arrested in connection with the seizure of heroin with an estimated street value of €1.6 million in Co Leitrim last night. The arrest took place after a care was searched during a planned operation at Cortober, near Carrick on Shannon at about 8.30pm. The operation was carried out by Gardai from Sligo/Leitrim Division supported by the Gardaí National Drugs Unit and the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Horses Savaged
Three horses each had legs almost entirely hacked off by sharp instruments, possibly swords this week and later had to be put down in Waterford after being mutilated in two attacks believed to be connected to the ongoing Travellers' feud in the city. The attacks have been condemned by gardaí who are investigating, and by animal rights groups. In the first incident on Wednesday night, one horse was savagely attacked in a field off the Ballybeg Link Road before 9pm. The incident came to light via an anonymous call to the Waterford Animal Concern group. It attended the scene with gardaí and found a four-year-old horse with a leg almost entirely hacked off. The animal was still alive but was put down by a vet.
