It's alleged the drugs were found concealed in two suitcases with his name tags attached
A 19-year-old man was “caught red-handed” with €650,000 worth of cannabis in his luggage after landing at Dublin Airport on a flight from Los Angeles, a court has heard.
He was brought to Ballymun Garda station and charged with unlawfully possessing and importing 32.5 kilos of cannabis and having the drug for sale or supply.Garda Tanya Shinken told the court the accused "made no reply" to the charges. She objected to bail and voiced concerns that Mr Brock was a flight risk.
She agreed with defence counsel Karl Monahan that the case would likely be dealt with at Circuit Court, and the accused could wait 18 months to two years until his trial date. Mr Brock, who has still to indicate a plea, gave evidence and told the court his recent travel destinations were family holidays, which he did not pay for, and a visit to his grandmother in the United States.Cross-examined, he told the garda that the flight he came here on departed from LAX.
