Criminal Assets Bureau seize high performance cars in raids on Dublin drug gangs

The Criminal Assets Bureau have seized a number of high end cars following numerous raids throughout South Dublin earlier this morning. The raids, carried out by armed and uniformed Gardaí in conjunction with CAB, took place at 18 different locations in the early hours of this morning.

Gardaí swooped in on houses in the Raleigh Square area of Crumlin, where the family home of murdered gang member David Byrne is located. Byrne was shot dead at a boxing weigh-in event in the Regency Hotel on 5 February.

A number of cars, such as upmarket BMWs and Mercedes vehicles, were seized, along with documents, cash and other pieces of evidence that can be used against the Kinahan gang.

Searches were also carried out in six offices for solicitors and accountants, as Gardaí seek to clamp down on gangland crime before the bitter feud escalates any further.
