Gang boss burns out garda sergeant's car while he plays football

Gardai have launched a major investigation after a car belonging to a popular sergeant was burnt-out in a grudge attack linked to gangland thugs. SHARE The highly-respected officer's Toyota Corolla was burnt-out as he played a football game in Ashford, Co Wicklow, over the bank holiday weekend. Sources said everything points to the shadowy crimelord nicknamed 'The Businessman' being behind the sinister attack after a recent garda raid on a pub linked to the middle-aged thug.

The major crimelord is the chief suspect for organising the attack after he "became irritated" with increasing pressure from detectives in recent weeks. The officer's car was targeted on Monday evening in an attack that was planned. The gangster is considered a major player nationwide. He leads a gang active mainly in the east of the country but with links to drugs mobs all over the country, including in the capital.
