Kildare Gardai succeed in giving drugs raid cash to charity

A total of €2,880 that was seized as part of a drugs raid will be given to charity, Naas Court heard today.

Inspector Patsy Glennon told the court that the money was found in an apartment in Maryfield Court in Naas in October 2012. Under the Police Property Act, cash or property seized as part of an Garda investigaition can be forfeited to the state if the rightful owner doesn't claims it. Insp Glennon applied to have the money split between three good causes. A sum of €1,000 was given to a project in Hollywood, Co Wicklow to restore an organ in St Kevin's Church. Another €1,000 was given to St Vincent de Paul while the remaining €880 was given to the Halo project.
