'Illegal Mobile Pharmacy' Shut Down In Laois

The motorist was discovered to be an unaccompanied learner.

A so-called 'Illegal Mobile Pharmacy' has been shut down in Laois. 

Gardaí stopped a badly damaged van during a patrol in Borris-in-Ossory after it made an illegal U-turn that cut off another driver.

The motorist was discovered to be an unaccompanied learner who tested positive for both cocaine and cannabis and had no insurance or valid NCT.

A search of the van uncovered a wooden bat, a knuckle duster and deal bags containing suspected drugs.

The seized cocaine and cannabis are estimated to have a street value of about €850.

The driver was arrested at the scene and the vehicle was seized as part of the Garda investigation.
