Irish man admits to gun smuggling in the UK

Had to laugh at the quote from the article

He said he was returning from Europe where he had "just been driving around".

I mean, it's possible they already had him targeted when the stopped him..............but surely you'd have a better story than that. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer

I'd be surprised if the the side who this threat has been made against are not wiped out before the year is gone (by wiped I mean 2 main chaps either shot or locked up).

Crosby might regret that phone call if the lads get a hold of him

Acid attacks have been happening in London for a few years now resulting in some horrific injuries where one victim commited suicide not long after. The judiciary handed out some hefty sentences to try and stem the tide. I haven't heard of this ghastly torture tactic in Ireland as of yet but it is a new low and a threat that must be taken seriously by that Crosbie lad before he ends up looking like sloth out of the Goonies.

First car was Volkswagen Caddy , used to ram into the back of victims toyota.

Driven 3mins away to an estate close by then burnt out.

Hopped into second car which was a Vectra driven 6mins up the road then again burnt out.

Hopped into an Avensis which was driven all the way to Bray, over half an hours drive away - then burnt out.

Whats the thinking behind using several cars and burning out each one? Used to be always just the one car burnt out but recently gangs seemed to have upped it to two or three. Is it to evade being spotted by the Garda helicopter?

Is he the lad that got the acid thrown at him?

I'm pretty sure, but can't fully remember the details, either the 'male model' or somebody in his family had acid thrown at them but managed to dodge most of it.

They were in hospital for a while. I don't think it was related to drugs or money (but easily could have been seeing as he tried to leave the country with half a mill).

Was passing by the Coombe at about 8 this morn and the bus was diverted because of what looked like a crime scene sealed off. Any craic with that?

Hit and run on Cork street.

Must be bad because that was 10.30 last night I think.

Ah that makes sense, especially the decoy bit. They could just get some kids to burn out a car in a specific location nearby to the hit at a set time. If the helicopter is in the air it would see the smoke quick enough and divert Garda units to it.

Or a proper fool, the expression "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind looking at that idiot, one raid and EVERYTHING is gone.

Who's to say this was everything. He could have 3 houses filled with similar. Serious dust regardless. Obviously had serious operation going on.
The biggest sign he was a dope is that be didn't quit when he had that kind of money. If he lived 5 lives he couldn't spend it.

Absolutely. That is why i've been keenly following the Mexican drug wars on Borderland Beat over the last 10 years. You get a years supply of typical Dublin/Irish crime in half a day. Chalk and cheese. Different world. It is grotesque but captivating.

Some seriously sick individuals over there, beheading kids, massacring entire families. There is no line that won't be crossed. The lads we have here are tame in comparison thankfully.
