GARDA TO BREAK UP TOP ANTI-CRIME UNIT

ONE of the capital's most successful Garda anti-crime units is being disbanded with officers returned to uniform duties.

The Irish Mirror has confirmed that those attached to the Crime Task Force in south inner city Dublin were told on Monday it is to be disbanded in the coming weeks.

Sources say most of the officers in the unit - which was involved in several operations against the Kinahan mob - will be put back in uniform.

A small number will be reassigned to local district detective units, where they will act as aides to investigators.
