Fake taxi used in feud gun attack

A MERCEDES car stolen in Dublin and disguised as a taxi was used in a machine-gun attack in the latest Limerick feud attack, gardaí said yesterday.

Well-placed sources say the shooting was an elaborate plan to lure members of the Keane/Collopy gang out onto the street where they were to be ambushed.

Six houses in St Mary’s Park, which is an enclave of one of the city’s feud gangs, were raked with automatic gunfire on Tuesday night. Nobody was hurt.
