CAB cracks down on cross-Border crime in joint operation

THE Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has successfully targeted a number of cross-Border criminals in joint operations with its sister agency in the North.

These include Patrick Belton, an alleged oil smuggler and major republican figure and suspected alcohol smugglers, brothers Gerard and Terence Keenan.

Last week, the CAB seized property in Dublin belonging to an alleged Northern Ireland drug dealer Colin Armstrong, who is also suspected of operating a car smuggling business in Dundalk, Co Louth.
