Man caught in raid swoop was on bail

ONE of the three men swooped on by gardaí as they were about to carry out a raid was out on bail for a serious drug charge, it emerged yesterday.

Gardaí were last night seeking a direction from the Director of Public Prosecutions to charge the men today in connection with the attempted robbery.

The three men, all from Dublin’s north inner city, were arrested as part of a planned Garda operation at Sandyford Business Park in south Dublin on Thursday.
