The bust, part of a controlled delivery, turned chaotic when a Garda car was rammed. The suspects, including 61-year-old firm director John Sheppard, are accused of possession and intent to sell. Bail was granted — with hefty cash deposits and strict conditions — as they prepare for court next Friday. This case exposes how organized crime infiltrates everyday businesses and how far criminals will go to move drugs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
