Man due in British court charged with firearm offence

A Irish man aged 51 who has been linked to the Kinahan gang will appear in court in Britain later this morning following the arrests of two men as part of an investigation into the supply of drugs and firearms both here and in the UK.

Dubliner Thomas Kavanagh, whose address was given by Britain’s National Crime Agency as Tamworth, had been arrested on his arrival at Birmingham Airport on Saturday.
