Gardaí Up Pressure On Gangs With Raids And Arrest
Gardai investigating the murder of Limerick man Shane Geoghegan have made a number of strategic raids on houses in the city this morning, and the arrest of a known gang leader.
The multiple raids began before dawn, concentrating in the Hyde Road and Ballinacurra Weston areas.
Mr Geoghegan, a 28-year-old Garryowen rugby player, was shot and killed by one of the feuding Limerick gangs near his girlfriend's home in the early hours of Sunday morning after apparently being mistaken for a local drug dealer.
Gardaí have also since moved in on Gerard Dundon, a senior member in the McCarthy-Dundon gang. He was arrested in Limerick yesterday afternoon on a committal warrant after he was sentenced to ten months in prison last July for 34 road traffic offences.
He appealed but failed to turn up for his appeal.
A special garda operation stopped 21-year-old Dundon who was driving his black bullet proof BMW.
Separately, a warrant for the arrest of his brother John Dundon was issued at Limerick District Court yesterday.
