Four Albanians charged as gardaí probe organised crime

FOUR Albanian nationals were charged over the weekend following a major garda investigation into organised crime across the south and south-east of the country.

A total of 11 Albanians were arrested last Tuesday by a garda team investigating 50 alleged burglaries across Munster and south Leinster during an 18-month period.

One of those arrested was taken to Clonmel District Court on Saturday and charged with burglary offences. The 34-year-old, with an address in Tralee, Co Kerry, was remanded in custody with consent to bail.
