Gardaí seize Kinahan firearms arsenal

Garda gang units have saved the lives of Hutch family members and potentially of innocent bystanders after seizing an arsenal of high-powered weaponry from the Kinahan crime cartel.

Five firearms — including two MP9 submachine guns and three loaded handguns – were confiscating when the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau and the Special Crime Task Force swooped on a car on Quarry Rd, Cabra, in Dublin’s north inner city.

Two silencers for the submachine guns were also seized — a fairly unusual discovery — along with 140 rounds of ammunition.
