The gang has been smuggling cocaine through the postal service. The drugs were sent by courier from Peru to a safety deposit box in Rathmines over the past few days.
Three of the gang arrived yesterday afternoon and all were arrested as they collected the drugs.
They are now being questioned in Terenure and Rathmines Garda Stations and can be held for up to seven days.

Yes I understand. But I always thought reporters keep their reports to exactly (or accurately enough) what the interviewed party tells them.The issue is not one of political correctness but one of accuracy, fairness and responsibility (e.g. not to jeopardise or prejudice the work of the justice system) which might be better reflected in the following sort of alteration to the original report (I am not a lawyer but I presume that RTÉ have one):
Three of the gang arrived yesterday afternoon and all were arrested as they collected the drugs.
I don't know. I am not a lawyer. But, as I said above, I'm sure that RTÉ can afford to hire legal counsel and get such matters right.Clubman, did they allegedly arrive, was it allegedly the afternoon, or were they there to allegedly collect the drugs?
I wonder were they allegedly on their way from scamming ATMs and allegedly on their way to sending millions of spam mails?
I believe he was "taking the urine" out of ClubMan on both accounts, if I'm not mistaken?Meaning?
