Garda unit foils gang in €1.6m TVs raid

THE Garda’s serious crime unit yesterday smashed a drugs gang and recovered up to 3,000 stolen plasma televisions, worth up to €1.6 million.

The six-man gang, led by a suspected major drug trafficker, are expected to appear before court this morning.

The crew was caught red-handed following a garda surveillance operation at the gang’s hideout in Carra, Co Kildare.
