girlwithprob

ok so i need help my boyf house was raided dont kno how much he had perhaps like an ounce of hash but the brought him in,why would they do that im so worried. he possibly could have had more also he had like 6000 in a safe which was mine as im gettin a car do you think that couldve made him look worse please help!

highlydebased

Well if he was in possession of drugs.....he will be charged with that more than likely

445279.ie

I'd imagine they found a hell of alot more than an ounce of hash to bring him to the station for questioning.

girlwithprob

i hope he didnt have more,
the **** has really hit the fan now dont kno how many people it'll have affected,by the way dont touch drugs myself
was always on to him bout givin it up. my parents are goin to kill me ..hes 9 yrs older its not going to look good

highlydebased

And how old are you then....?

mikemac

You have to admit though that finding drugs and a safe with fair sum of cash in the house would make it hard for the arresting garda to walk away.

No idea of your situation, maybe his name was dropped by someone else who was being questioned earlier today. They must be more to it than one lousy ounce so I'm assuming they have some sort of information and time will tell if it's accurate or not

girlwithprob

im 19 unfortunately still livin at home

Electric

There's probably more to it than the ounce of hash. It could be that he's involved in more stuff that you know about or that they suspect that he's involved or has information about stuff.

In terms of the cash they'll probably seize it until he can prove he came by it legitimately.

girlwithprob

im so worried i was freakin out earlie cos he was on his way over after an hour i text him got no reply phoned the paniced thought hed crashed or something then he rang sayin the guards had his phone and not to call it

girlwithprob

how do i prove its mine it was jus rolled up in my hairband!

highlydebased

I wont ask what you are doing with a 28 year old guy......at 19...

As I always say "Honesty is the best policy.."

girlwithprob

he gives me what i want lol!
doubt ill be with him after tonight

highlydebased

LOL!

You'll just have to hang in there and see what happens...

Electric

Well you'll have to provide some account of how you got the money. Either through wages slips or bank statements showing that you saved it. Is there anyone else that knew you put the money there for safe keeping. Actually why would you put €6000 in a safe rather than in the bank to earn interest?!

Gardai seize drugs worth €6 million
From ireland.com21:57Thursday, 2nd August, 2007
Two men (26 and 27) were arrested and drugs with an estimated street value of over €6 million were seized following a planned search by gardaí in Dublin this evening.

Shortly after 6.30pm Gardaí from the divisional drugs unit based at Dundrum searched a yard and sheds at a location in Cornelscourt, Dublin 18.

During the search the gardaí uncovered quantities of various drugs believed to be heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and cannabis.

The men are currently being held at Blackrock Garda Station under section 2 of the drug trafficking act.

maybe he never told you

girlwithprob

Then as long as you can prove that you earned it and it's not from drugs it should be fine.

ps have you rang your bf's solicitor?

girlwithprob

he doesn have one, my parents dont kno yet might take the day off work and try get one ...how do you go about that by the way?

highlydebased

Lol...you call into one or ring one. And explain etc.......

Electric

Do your parents have one would they willing to ring them?

He can also request his solicitor to be present. If he hasn't got one there is usually a duty solicitor appointed.

As it's 11pm I'd say your best bet is to ring one in the morning. Give them as much details as you can. The other thing is with the new Criminal Justice Act suspects can be questioned for longer without being charged. If possible once you have sorted out the solicitor then try to meet up with him and give him a change of clothes for your bf he could be there for a while.

What time was he arrested at? There are procedures in place that limit the amount of time the Gardai can spend questioning him.

I suppose the main thing is to wait and see what happens. Ring the station in the morning and see if they will tell you if a solicitor has been appointed. If not sort one out.

If he's charged then he'll need bail and they usually look for a bond to be paid

Has he any other convictions? That'll make bail tricky cos on the application all previous convictions have to be declared

Venom

Why would you leave 6 grand in your boyfriends place instead of your home? You have such a slim chance of convincing the cops that money is your its practically zero.

Dave!

If he only has an ounce then I don't think that's gonna be enough to charge him with intent to sell (or whatever the term is)... The 6k cash sure looks dodgey, but buying a car is a legitimate reason to have that much cash (and I gather your boyfiend is helping you buy one because he knows more about them than you), and I presume you can account for where it came from, the bank or CU will have records of it being withdrawn, etc.

It looks dodgey at first, but if you can account for the cash and there's nothing else going on that you don't know about, then I can't see him being charged with anything.

Of course I have no legal education! But that's just my guess.

The_Conductor

Can you show withdrawals to the sum of the 6k along with proof of where the money came from (and why you needed such a sum in cash). Most people don't go around with cash like that these days- if you're buying a car a transfer is the norm, not cash......

If you can show where the cash came from, and what you intentions for it were/are then you should probably be ok (but it may be some time before you get it back......)

MojoMaker

Best advice is don't go out with scumbags in the future? And that's a state of mind before you go telling us how he's wealthy and 'gives you everything you want'.

Domestic Garda raids and you're *still* not sure about him, or maybe you get off on it? :rolleyes:

evad_lhorg

an ounce is twice the amount theyll need to charge him with intent. the fact that they raided his house as well means he was being watched. they dont just do it for the laugh

LOL I was surprised that it took someone so long to point this out..... The gardai don't very often raid peoples houses unless there is a reason. I mean, they weren't just sitting in the station bored with a map and a dart... **Thunk** Dats de house lads, grab your riot gear, Mickey get the sledge.

Seriously like..... And then he has apparently just an ounce of hash and by amazing coincidence a ball of cash with is apparently yours for a car he just so happened to be looking at on the day....

Trying......hard......to......believe.......you...that.....he's......a......good......person........

Nope.... Can't do it.

Electric

Did you ring the station and see if he's been charged or had a solicitor appointed?

The more I think about it seems that there is probably more to it than you know. If you can head down to the station with bank statements etc proving you own the cash. Someone else pointed out that it will take time to get it released (esp if he's charged and there's a trial!)

Where the **** do you get off calling the chap a scumbag? You've never met him and know nothing about him other than the fact that he smokes a bit of dope, as does/has about half the young adult population of the country.'

rick_fantastic

you will be looking at about 6-9months go get the cash back. make sure he gets a receipt for it when he gets released from the slammer....

doesnt look very good tho all the same. if it was just an ounce of hash then its not really a big deal.

was there any sort of weighing scales in his house cos if he has a small scales then hes fooked. literally. being caught with one of these and immediately done for intent to supply.

IRISH RAIL

That money could be your communion money for all it matters
chances are its being held by the gaurds untill someone comes to claim it
when you go make sure you bring someone with you eg soliciter or your dad
make sure the cops have it and hes not spinning you a story if so
then call the cops immedietly
6000 is a lot of cash it has probably taken you years to save it just for some druggie to either spend it or have it taken by it the cops or otherwise
talk to your dad get him to help you
it doesnt matter what happpens he will always help you out
ps one more piece of help
dont waste your time on this guy like others have said it would be a lot more than an once for him to be taken into custody and questioned do you want to spend your life like this ?

Yeah, in all fairness, I think it's pretty obvious that this guy is obviously keeping alot from you. The gardai do not execute "raids" for the laugh. I reckon you're chances of getting your cash back are slim to none. Best suggestion, is to tell the gardai it's your money and hope for the best. And ditch the bloke!

Exactly, they don't just pick random people's houses and go......right this one tonight lads!!! :rolleyes:

He's clearly either dealing or hanging around with dealers.

Doing drugs doesn't automatically make you a scumbag however, the Police don't just raid a house for no reason.

I think there's way more to this than we're being told. Either the OP isn't telling the full story or she's just telling us what she's been told, i.e. a big fat lie. Telling an innocent 19 year old that the police raided his house for drugs is an easy way of making 6k. Or am I being too cynical?

girlwithprob

he got out at 3 am the let him go as whoever blabbed told the guards it would be a big haul it was only half an ounce in the end the guards found it funny! hes jus mortified and is givin it up!
but i dumped him

as for the money got a call to go in with wage slips and bank statement and its sorted

cant wait to get my golf now

Electric

Did you get your money back?

girlwithprob

not yet as i am in work but im headin in tomorrow to see what the story is

The_Conductor

Seriously- its not a good idea to go buying a car with 6 grand in cash in your pocket. Have a word with your parents and get a cheque off them, or organise a draft- its dangerous carrying that much cash around.

What are you talking about. He was a drug dealing so and so. Drug dealers or people caught with drugs (other than private use) should be put straight into Cloverhill until a hearing date is finalised. Filth is what they are - no apologies needed.

i would not call a person that has one ounce of hash in their house a drug dealer

Please read the thread, especially before stating as fact that someone is a drug dealer. Its already been established he's not. The gardai dont think so. The op doesnt think so. Do you have some additional information that adds credence to your claims?
