Cars outside the home of veteran gangster Wayne Bradley were smashed up in an apparent attack this week. Gardai are investigating after the windows of two cars parked in the driveway of Bradley’s home were smashed in on Monday evening.

Sources say officers are investigating if anyone had any grudge or reason to attack Bradley’s home - but there is at this time no immediate known issue.

In a statement gardai confirmed the incident was under investigation. “Gardaí are investigating an incident of criminal damage which occurred at a domestic residence on Rathoath Road, Finglas, Dublin 11 yesterday evening. No injuries have been reported at this time. A scene is currently held for technical examination,” a garda spokesperson said.

The attack comes after a recent video by Wayne’s criminal brother Alan ‘Fatpuss’ Bradley in which he appeared to do a mock ‘traveller callout’ while brandishing knives.

Notorious criminal Fatpuss - who was jailed over an attempted raid on a cash-in-transit van carrying €880,000 in Celbridge, Co. Kildare in 2007 - can be seen brandishing the knives as he made the video which looks like a send-up of feuding gangs calling each other out.

‘Fatpuss’ Bradley is one of Ireland’s most infamous criminals and was a leading member of the crime gang once led by the murdered drug dealer Eamonn ‘the Don’ Dunne.

In the video, which has been shared widely on social media, Bradley is filmed pointing a sharp bladed knife as he addressed the camera and says: “You know that people are going around saying that the Bradley people are only blackguards and bowsies. We’re normal ould country people, but I tell you we never took no messing off no-one. We never brought a blade anywhere with us in our lives and we take no messing off nobody. But you can send this out that Fatpuss Bradley is the man.”

Bradley is then seen brandishing several knives, before adding that Fatpus “doesn’t use blades, he never carried a blade in his life, but he’ll have a fair go off anyone that wants to step in.” He then adds: “We don’t use blades, we may carry them, but we just go around doing our own thing". Fatpus then signs off the video by shouting: “Put that in your fucking pipe and smoke it.”

Alan Bradley and his brother Wayne, who was also a member of Eamonn Dunne’s gang, both served lengthy sentences for their involvement in an attempted raid on a cash-in-transit van carrying €880,000 in Celbridge, Co. Kildare in 2007.

Dunne was also involved in the attempted raid which was thwarted by gardai but was shot dead before standing trial on the matter.

Alan and Wayne were previously targeted by the Criminal Assets Bureau and were served with demands for €362,000 in unpaid taxes and penalties between them.
