In north Dublin’s Finglas, police have apprehended a firearm and rounds of ammunition. Following what was perceived as odd behaviour, the officers embarked on a search effort in the Dunsink Lane vicinity around 10.30 pm on Tuesday. The firearm and ammunition were cunningly concealed behind shrubs. The firearm has now been rendered safe and it will be dispatched to the Ballistics Unit of the Police for a more detailed scrutiny. Investigations into this issue continue.
The Chief Superintendent of the Blanchardstown Police Division, Michael McNulty, applauds the dedicated officers involved in this significant seizure and their contribution in ensuring that another perilous firearm is no longer a threat on our streets. This case shows the continuous proactive patrolling in the DMR West area, where police uphold a constant presence, epitomising the unending endeavours of the police ensuring the safety of people on our streets daily.
