Two teenagers were arrested in Lansry Walk, Hanover Park, following intelligence-driven operations conducted by the #AntiGangUnit on Tuesday, 23 June 2026.
During the operation, members of the Anti-Gang Unit arrested a 19-year-old male suspect in Lansry Walk who was found in possession of a prohibited firearm and eight rounds of ammunition.
Follow-up operations thereafter led the team to a premises in the same street, where members arrested an 18-year-old male suspect for possession and dealing in drugs after the discovery of 15 sachets of tik, 51 heroin sachets, and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Thereafter, a 27-year-old male suspect was arrested at Cascade Court, Hanover Park, when he was found in possession of a prohibited firearm and 11 rounds of ammunition.
All three suspects will appear at the Athlone Magistrate’s Court once they have been charged.
