cops smash pickpocket ring

    GARDAI have smashed a gang of professional pickpockets who arrived in Ireland to target St Patrick’s Day visitors.

    The Irish Sun can reveal 30 foreign suspects were arrested in Dublin over last weekend.
    They included a Romanian woman caught with NINE stolen €400 iPhones during Sunday’s festivities. Another Romanian woman was nabbed with a stolen iPhone on Saturday night — just one hour after arriving in the capital.
    Two Eastern European men were caught with SIX stolen smartphones on Friday night.
    And a Bulgarian man caught last week with NINE iPhones had a fake US driving licence.
    Gardai believe 20 of the Romanians were part of an organised gang who travelled here from London. But some of the thieves were also from Algeria and south America.
    Some 50 stolen phones were recovered during the weekend operation by officers from Operation Aughrim, which was launched by Det Insp Michael Cryan last summer.
