Eight people, including one woman, were arrested in the DOCB operation, which began when detectives stopped two cars in the Blanchardstown and Ballyfermot areas
The Kinahan cartel was using a CCTV system to monitor a massive drugs factory – to make sure gang members were doing their job properly, it has emerged.
They also said they believed the cartel, led by on the run mob boss Daniel Kinahan had installed the special CCTV system to spy on the workers they had recruited for the scam. They also seized €78,000 in cash, 2,000 canisters of Nitrous Oxide laughing gas and a hydraulic drugs press. Two low level suspects were released last night, but six suspects were still in custody and can be quizzed until next Tuesday.
"And in particular when we arrest people who are at that level, as you can see, our targeting is upstream targeting people who are at that level. And that's why operations like yesterday take a lot of time and resources by An Garda Siochana but that's the level we're targeting.""They are now detained under drug trafficking legislation and in due course some of them may face substantial sentences.
