Nine homes searched in gangland killings probe

A CRACK garda unit yesterday searched nine homes associated with criminals involved in a violent feud in south-west Dublin.

The raids were carried out as detectives continued to question a man in connection with the fatal shooting of Noel Roche on Tuesday night.

Roche’s death was the seventh fatality linked to a feud between two gangs in the Crumlin and Drimnagh areas in the last five years.
