Crime bosses ‘buying less flashy cars’ to avoid Garda attention

Crime bosses are increasingly buying less flashy top-end vehicles in a bid to avoid the attention of gardaí.

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) seized greater numbers of more mid-range, but still valuable, vehicles during operations in 2014, according to its annual report.

CAB officers confiscated eight vehicles in 2014, worth €76,500, compared to just two vehicles in 2013.
