Part of €13m cannabis haul destined for gang

GARDAÍ confirmed yesterday that part of the €13 million cannabis haul seized in Dublin was destined for a Limerick gang.

The gang is linked to the feud which led to the murder of crime boss Kieran Keane on January 29. The articulated truck carrying the haul is believed to be owned by a man linked to one of the feuding families.

Members of the Garda National Drugs Unit seized a large quantity of cannabis resin and herb when they stopped the truck at John’s Road West in Dublin’s south inner city at 7.20am on Thursday. And in Limerick, members of the Garda Drugs Squad seized €40,000 worth of drugs in the city.
