Gardaí are to prepare files for the DPP after arresting one woman and questioning another about attempts to supply drugs to remand prisoners attending a court hearing in Co Cork on Tuesday.
Detectives from Mallow District Drugs Unit, backed up the local detective branch and the Regional Dog Unit, carried out searches of a number of people waiting to meet some prisoners on remand from Cork Prison.
Officers searched a 21-year-old woman from Mallow and found her in possession of €500 worth of cannabis herb. She was arrested and brought to Mallow Garda Station for questioning about the find.
Gardaí also searched a 19-year-old woman, also from Mallow but not associated with the first woman, and found her to be in possession of suspected cannabis, heroin and a quantity of tablets worth about €500. Two mini-mobile phones were also taken from her which officers believe she planned to pass to a prisoner on remand who was attending the court.
Gardaí did not arrest the 19 year old and they later released the 21-year-old woman without charge but a Garda spokesman confirmed they would prepare files in respect of both women and both drug seizures for the DPP.
