CCTV footage checked in crime boss killers’ hunt

Gardaí are trawling through CCTV footage for clues relating to the gang of hitmen who carried out a "highly professional assassination" of crime boss Christopher Zambra last Sunday.

Meanwhile, a neighbouring underworld figure of Zambra, Freddie Thompson, was arrested by elite police in Amsterdam on foot of an international arrest warrant regarding a violent disorder charge here.

Senior officers are on high alert over possible retaliation for Zambra’s murder, which occurred on Cooley Rd, Drimnagh, south Dublin, on Sunday afternoon.
