DNA from an alleged cocaine wholesaler was found on a bag containing almost a kilo of the drug, a court heard. Conor Nicholson, from Ballyoran Park in Portadown, is accused of having cocaine with intent to supply on November last year. It was disclosed that the cocaine would be worth “around £100,000 at wholesale price” and has a purity a level of 78%. The court was told Nicholson was allegedly connected to it - forensic scientists had found his DNA profile “on the knot tying the plastic bag”. The detective said police were objecting to bail because Nicholson had allegedly committed these offences while on bail for a previous drugs offence.
