A MAN HAS been charged in connection with the seizure of over €100,000 worth of heroin at the train station in Cork city.

Gary Cambridge (34), of Mount Brosna, Mayfield, Cork, appeared before Cork District Court today. He was charged with two offences, arising from the seizure at Kent railway station yesterday. 

Cambridge was charged with possession of €105,000 worth of diamorphine or heroin for sale or supply.

Detective Garda Paul Leahy of the Cork City Divisional Drugs Squad gave evidence of the arrest, charge and caution.

Judge Con O’Leary heard that Cambridge made no reply to either charge when they were put to him after caution.
