Garda’s War on Burglary Gangs | Waterford News

Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly reveals a high-stakes battle against burglary gangs, deploying 200 elite officers trained for risky vehicle stops and large-scale raids to dismantle these “career criminal” networks before they strike. Targeting areas near major roads, the gangs operate with speed and unpredictability — behavior the Commissioner calls “horrendous.” Despite dangers to officers and vehicles, Gardaí remain committed to apprehending, prosecuting, and removing these threats from streets. New legislation expected by year’s end will crack down on wrong-way driving on motorways — a tactic used to evade capture — with harsher prison sentences to deter such behavior. The mission: reclaim motorways and protect communities through relentless intelligence, proactive operations, and ironclad enforcement.
