This is the first photo of a monkey found during a guns and drugs raid in north Dublin this morning.
The animal was discovered as gardai seized three guns, ammunition and over €120,000 worth of drugs from a premises on Ratoath Road, Finglas.
Gardai arrested three people after the raid.
A source said: “This is a big strike against a group of young criminals in the Finglas arera.
“Besides the monkey the gardai also found .357 magnum revolver, a scorpion machine gun as well as an other similar weapon.
“There was also €100,000 worth of coke.”
The guns found during the raid included one machine pistol, one sub- machine gun and a .357 calibre revolver, along with 300 rounds of assorted 9mm, .357 ammunition and 227 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun cartridges.
Cops also discovered cannabis worth an estimated street value of €29,500 and cocaine worth around €97,300.
They also seized €3,000 worth of clothing.
Raids in Finglas this week, as shown above got something at least, but as I said before, the Tip of the Iceberg, hopefully they wont charge the Monkey? Also there were other raids and searches in Coolock and Darndale, if they had found anything substantial, the Garda PR machine would have their photo shoots. Drogheda is still on a knife edge, the Fear in the town is like a dark cloud. Goverment down the years turned their back on the housing conditions in these Crime ridden areas in North Dublin, we are paying a high price for it now. Then we have Ballymun and Tallaght, ready to explode, not forgetting Sligo and Longford? Fred.
