Gardaí shocked as cannabis jellies are seized in Offaly house


It has been a busy couple of weeks in the Birr Garda District with several incidents taking place.
On Friday, October 22 the Gardaí conducted a search of a house in Kilcormac during which they discovered and seized a small number of cannabis jellies. A middle-aged man was arrested and charged.
The cannabis jellies are packaged to look like Haribo jellies but carry the name Caribo.
Running up to Halloween the Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned parents to be vigilant about these “sweets”. Six children under the age of ten were treated during an eight week period after eating them. Children could potentially fall into a coma after their ingestion.
