Efforts to ensure that those on the wrong side of the law are brought to book yielded positive results when members of the Anti-Gang Unit conducted an intelligence driven operation in Hanover Park on Saturday evening. The members searched a premises in Lansry Walk where they arrested a 27-year-old man when they found a pistol with 65 rounds of ammunition in the house. The suspect faces charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

Furthermore the members followed up information about a wanted suspect that is at a premises in Lansman Walk who is being sought by police for attempted murder. The house was searched and the 18-year-old suspect was arrested on an attempted murder charge.

Once charge the suspects will make their respective court appearances in the Athlone Magistrates court.
