Two men in court over €5.3m drug seizure linked to 'sophisticated' Dutch gang
A Garden Centre owner and another man have appeared in court charged in connection with a seizure of €5.3 million worth of heroin and cocaine in Co Meath allegedly linked to a Dutch crime group with ties to the UK. Joseph Sherry, 61, of Allagesh, Smithborough in Co Monaghan and garden centre owner Matthew Farrell, 63, of Lisagoan in Kingscourt in Co Cavan, appeared before Judge Eirinn McKiernan at Navan District Court on Thursday evening. Both men were charged with unlawful possession of heroin and cocaine and unlawful possession of heroin and cocaine for sale or supply at Leggagh, Castletown, Co Meath, on Tuesday, May 27. Garda Ben McGarry gave evidence he arrested Sherry at 12.50pm on Thursday for the purpose of charge. He charged the accused at 12.54pm and said he made 'no reply' after caution. Detective Garda Paul Cullen said he arrested Matthew Farrell at 12.42pm on Thursday for the purpose of charge. He said the accused made no reply after caution. Objecting to bail, Garda McGarry said it is alleged the drugs belong to a "sophisticated crime group in the Netherlands which has links to the UK,' and alleged that Sherry's 'sole purpose of coming from the UK to Ireland was to partake in this operation'. Outlining the alleged facts of the case, Garda McGarry said the intelligence-led joint operation was conducted by Revenue's Customs Service, the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau and Eastern Region colleagues, the Meath/Westmeath Divisional Drugs and Crime Units, which detected a container at Dublin Port from Rotterdam. A controlled delivery was put in place and the container was delivered to a yard at Clover Buildings at Leggagh in Castletown. It's alleged both Sherry and Farrell were present at the yard, along with an 11-year-old child, and it's alleged Farrell's name was on the manifest and he allegedly signed for the delivery. Gardaí intervened and a search warrant was executed and both males were arrested. A 'deep search' took place and it's alleged €2.8 million worth of heroin and €2.59 million worth of cocaine was discovered in concrete blocks on 11 pallets in the container. Garda McGarry said it's alleged an iPhone and a 'highly sophisticated encrypted' Google phone were found in a Peugeot 5008 driven by Sherry. Garda McGarry said Sherry lives mainly in the UK and had arrived in Ireland that morning. As part of the bail objections, Garda Sherry said due to the seriousness of the offences, he believes Sherry is a potential flight risk. Detective Garda Cullen said Farrell is a garden centre owner and is alleged to have rented the shed on May 1 and allegedly ordered cement blocks from what appears to be a fictitious company in The Netherlands. It's also alleged Farrell was 'caught red-handed' and allegedly admitted to Gardaí he believed a substantial amount of cash was in the shipment. Detective Garda Cullen objected to bail due to the seriousness of the offences and because he believes Farrell is a potential flight risk. Detective Garda Cullen said a file is being prepared for the DPP, where it is anticipated there will be further serious charges. Refusing bail, Judge McKiernan remanded both males in custody to appear before Trim District Court next Tuesday, June 3

An air ambulance took the 15-year-old to hospital but he sadly died soon after A schoolboy who was rushed to hospital after complaining of feeling unwell has "unexpectedly" died. On Tuesday, emergency crews including road and air ambulances, and officers from the Met Police, raced to Coopers School in Chislehurst, south east London, reports the Mirror. Around five minutes after the alarm, paramedics had arrived at the secondary school and a 15-year-old boy was raced to hospital. He was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived. The Met Police said that his tragic death was "unexpected" but confirmed that is not being treated as suspicious. His family is being supported by specially trained officers. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police confirmed: "On Tuesday, 13 May at 1.25pm police were called by the London Ambulance Service to a school in Bromley, where a 15-year-old boy was suffering a medical emergency. "London's Air Ambulance transported the boy to hospital where he has sadly now died. "The boy's death is being treated as unexpected but not suspicious at this time. His family and the school are being supported by officers." A spokesperson for the London Ambulance Service added: "We were called at 1.20pm on Tuesday, May 13, to reports of a person unwell in Hawkwood Lane, Chislehurst. "We sent two ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, and an incident response officer to the scene. We also dispatched London's Air Ambulance. "The first paramedic arrived in less than five minutes. We treated a teenager at the scene and took him to hospital by road as a priority." The school has been contacted for comment. On Friday, in a separate incident, we reported that a 12-year-old boy was fighting for his life following a horror crash in the Borders on a major Scots road. Three others, including another child, were also taken to hospital. The crash occurred on the A1 on the evening of Thursday, May 8, at around 8.40pm near to Penmanshiel between Cockburnspath and Grantshouse. It involved a white Ford Transit Luton van and a black Peugeot 5008. Emergency services arrived at the scene and a 12-year-old male passenger of the Peugeot was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where his condition was described as critical. The 50-year-old driver of the car and a 10-year-old male passenger were also taken to hospital in the capital. The 44-year-old male driver of the van was taken to Borders General Hospital. The road was closed for over 10 hours to allow investigations to be carried out and re-opened around 6.30am on Friday morning.

Car Deal of the Day: Peugeot 5008 is fashionable, French family SUV and only £234 a month
Bold styling Lots of space £234 a month Peugeot went big on the latest 5008 - not just in terms of style (which it has in abundance), but gadgetry and size, too. This is the largest SUV the French firm makes. Thankfully, what isn't big is the price. We found a deal from the AA on the Auto Express Find a Car service that'll get you a Peugeot 5008 for just £234 a month. That's typically the monthly price you'd pay for a supermini or base-level hatchback so for the roomy 5008 it certainly caught our eye. This leasing deal is spread out over 24 months with a £3,079 initial deposit required. The maximum annual mileage limit is 5,000 miles, though for an extra £31 a month you can extend this to 10,000 miles. This deal is based on the Allure trim, though for an extra £27 a month, on a similar two-year lease from the AA, you can get the higher-spec GT instead. Advertisement - Article continues below The 5008 in Allure trim is still very equipped, however. As standard you get a concept-car interior with a 21-inch widescreen display on the dash complete with integrated sat-nav. The system has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity, voice recognition and the ability to connect two phones at once via Bluetooth. Peugeot's i-Cockpit layout also boasts configurable 'i-Toggles' in the dash to make frequently-used menus and functions that much easier to operate and a small steering wheel for a sportier driving position. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below A seven-seater, the 5008 is an ideal car for large families because the middle-row seats are very spacious and the third-row can even accommodate adults thanks to the sliding functionality of the middle-row seats. There's also tri-zone climate control to keep every occupant comfortable. With the third-row seats in use there's still a decent amount of boot space (348 litres), though if you fold them down you'll find a whopping 916 litres back there. The Allure trim also receives 19-inch alloy wheels, metallic paint and LED headlights (with Peugeot's distinctive 'Claw' signature) to go with the overall eye-catching design the new 5008 introduced just last year. Despite being a big, family-oriented SUV, the 5008 is more economical than you might think. There's a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine with mild-hybrid assistance that provides 136bhp to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and it returns on a combined cycle a very impressive 52.5mpg.
