WATCH Moment dozens of Operation Thor gardai use battering ram to storm house in north Dublin raid

This is the moment dozens of gardai used a battering ram to storm a home in north Dublin as part of an investigation into suspected organised crime in the area.

The recent raid is understood to be part of An Garda Siochana's Operation Thor.

A source told Dublin Live the raid is linked to a major criminal who is suspected to be in control of the north Dublin area.

According to gardai, Operation Thor: "Actively targets organised crime gangs and repeat offenders through co-ordinated crime prevention and enforcement activity based on intelligence and the latest burglary trends."

The footage shows gardai emerge from a number of marked and unmarked vehicles outside the property.

A battering ram is then used by one member of the team to open the door of the building before gardai stream inside.

Dublin Live has contacted An Garda Siochana for comment.
