Gardai recovered two guns and made a number of arrests after a car failed to stop at a Covid-19 checkpoint in the early hours of yesterday. Two men and a woman were taken into custody, while a large quantity of suspected drugs was recovered during the incident in Dublin. The vehicle was signalled to pull over but failed to do so and sped away. A short time later the vehicle crashed along Ellis Quay and a bag was seen to be thrown by an occupant car into the Liffey. Over the bank holiday weekend, gardai conducted 150 permanent checkpoints as part of Operation Fanacht, while 500 shorter and mobile checkpoints were also in operation.
