Gardaí seize loaded submachine gun in west Dublin
A 20-year-old man was arrested yesterday.
MEMBERS OF THE garda Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau have seized a loaded submachine gun in west Dublin.
Gardaí, as part of a planned search, yesterday carried out a search in the Balgaddy area of Lucan, west Dublin.
During this search operation, a loaded PM–63 RAK submachine gun with an additional clip of ammunition was recovered.
A man, aged in his 20s, has been arrested and is currently detained at Ronanstown Garda Station.
It is thought the find is not directly linked to the Kinahan/Hutch feud. However, it is instead linked to a local feud based in the west of the capital.
