Reports are emerging that a number of masked and armed men entered numerous bars in Dungiven tonight.

The men, who it is believed were armed with guns, are reported to have issued threats a short time ago.

It is understood the gang warned punters and staff that they will take action against those selling drugs.

Sinn Féin Councillor Sean McGlinchey confirmed that licensed premises in the town had been targeted by three individuals who were armed.

"This is not the way forward. If anyone has any issues with drugs, there are better ways to address them and resolve them," he said.
Fair play.

Someone must be selling them cheaper than the masked guys.

Police say they received the reports of the incidents in the Co Derry town on Friday evening


The PSNI have appealed for information after reports of a group of masked men armed with a handgun entering two bars in Dungiven and threatening customers and staff on Friday evening.

It's understood three masked men entered the St Canice's GAC social club in the town shortly after 7pm, one armed with a revolver style handgun and the others armed with a metal pipe.

Eyewitnesses to the terrifying incident said the men proclaimed they were from 'the IRA' and demanded that the illegal drug trade in the town 'came to an end'.

The once-notorious leader of drug gang The Firm has turned into a blubbering mess and walked away from drugs in fear for his life.
Sources in Lurgan — one of the few remaining strongholds of the cross-community drug gang — say the well-known leader has been left "devastated" and "living on his wits" after the murder of Kevin Conway in west Belfast.

He is also facing serious criminal sanctions linked to the drug gang and, combined with the hassle he's received after the murder of Shane Whitla last year, his life has been made a "misery", say sources.

Police have so far refused to state who they believe was behind the murder of Conway, but it seems the hit was almost certainly carried out by an elusive professional killer who already has at least seven murders on his rap sheet.

It's believed the killer used a silencer as even neighbours didn't hear the shots.

Last week, the shattered window of Conway's ground-floor flat had yet to be repaired. Sources said it was not shattered by a bullet, but had been broken for some time before the murder.
