Charged with €3,000 worth of cannabis in car for sale or supply
A MAN who had nearly €3,000 worth of cannabis in his car was remanded for a probation report by Blanchardstown Court.
Toya Akinade, aged 22, with an address at Meile An Rí Crescent, Balgaddy, Lucan, is charged with simple possession of cannabis and possession of cannabis for sale or supply at Castle Road, Lucan, on November 9, 2016.
He is also charged with simple possession of cannabis and possession of cannabis for sale or supply at his home address also on November 9, 2016.
The court had heard that on November 9, 2016, the gardai stopped a car on Castle Road in Lucan driven by Akinade and they found a black bag containing cannabis worth €2,900.
The gardai then carried out a follow up search of Akinade’s home and they found €284 worth of cannabis.
Akinade was before Judge David McHugh for a plea or a date for hearing.
Akinade’s solicitor told Judge McHugh that his client was pleading guilty.
He said Akinade had no previous convictions and asked the judge to put the case back for a probation report.
Judge McHugh remanded Akinade on continuing bail to a date at the end of May for a probation report.
