    Heard it on the radio dropping me ma to work. Well done to the Waterford Gardaí. They should be proud of themselves. Drugs have been destroying Waterford for far too long now.

    Operation Raptor was set up to target the three main drug dealing gangs in the city and county, focusing in particular on heroin and ecstasy.

    Cool name isn't it, Operation Raptor?
    Also, who are these three main gangs?

    I would reckon plenty will have a fair idea who will be, involved, in this. Dont think it wise to speculate using names on thread however

    Twenty-four people have been arrested in Waterford as part of a major garda operation targeting heroin and ecstasy dealing in the city.

    Over 80 gardaí from the local and national drug units searched over 20 houses throughout the city.

    The 23 men and one woman, aged between 17 and 47, are facing a total of 94 charges.

    They are due before a special sitting of Waterford District Court tonight.

    For the past six months, undercover gardaí have been sourcing drugs from dealers in Waterford city, Ballybeg and other suburban areas.

    Operation Raptor was set up to target the three main drug dealing gangs in the city and county, focusing in particular on heroin and ecstasy.

    The 24 are being detained at Waterford, Dungarvan and Tramore Garda Stations.

    i always wondered why i knew who they were and were they lived and how the guards didnt, maybe they were just waiting to build a case, ill take bets that maybe four out of the total get charged

    Well done to the guards on this one. Hopefully they put enough work in to secure a proper conviction for the majority if not all of the scum involved!! It would be a pity to see them get off on a technicality or something stupid:mad:

    With a bit of luck we might see a drop in all these robberies of late.....I know it's alot to ask but hopefully some good will come out of this:cool:

    I've watched the two seasons of Love/Hate and reckon I have a pretty good idea how this whole business works. Would anyone care to join me in an enterprising new adventure? The moneys pretty good, I'm led to believe

    Plenty more scumbags to take their places and line their pockets. The war on drugs is lost and the sooner the Irish government realises this the better. Of course they wont though.

    it does a bit, cannabis is a gateway drug and some strong strains can cause bad psyclogical damage in the very young people they target the poison at

    I would guess that some may have a ballybeg address , but live elsewhere .

    Also reckon it will be the runners that were mainly caught and I bet the ones making the big money are still out there .

    I think I know a few but not quite sure because no names released, the age group fits someone in particular who I think it might be.
