Last week, we joined officers from Mountjoy Garda Station on a Day of Action focusing on criminality in the area
Gardai are hitting back at street-level drug dealers who are using young teens as lookouts and gillys.
“You can see youngsters there on the e-scooters, either as lookouts up and down the street or alternatively you see when money is paid over, they could walk over to a stash, come back with say just the bare amounts. So if they are caught they only have to say a small amount as if you’re in possession.He added: “And for the community aspect and to reassure them, every now and then we have days of actions where we target the lower level dealers there.
Alloys had been stolen from a car in their district and investigations established that a bogey business was selling stolen car parts and it is suspected they were linked to the stolen property.“If there was unauthorised taking of stolen cars, they could be taken out there and cut up. Also a priority for gardai at Mountjoy is tackling domestic abuse, which soared nationwide due to the pandemic.Supt Mooney said: “If we have any breach of orders, it is a pro arrest policy, as simple as that. They will be arrested, charged or brought before the courts.”
