€11,000 Worth Of Drugs Seized And 29 Arrests In Kinsale Over The May Bank Holiday Weekend
The arrests were made during the Kinsale 7s Rugby Tournament
Gardaí deployed additional plainclothes members from the Divisional Drugs Unit and members from the Roads Policing Unit, around the town as part of the policing plan for the Kinsale 7s Rugby Tournament.
As a result, 29 people were arrested for incidents of public order, possession of drugs and drink/drug driving.
20,000 people come through Kinsale over the bank holiday weekend, and the Gardai say while the vast majority complied with Gardaí and stewards there were 60 detections for possession of suspected drugs, mostly cocaine, which amounted to approximately €11,000.
6 people also took the risk of getting behind the wheel with drugs or alcohol in their system leading Gardai to issue a fresh appeal to people to leave the car at home if their socialising plans include alcohol
