A man who ran the UK arm of a major international organised criminal network has been jailed. Irish national Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh, 54, was a high-ranking member of the Kinahan organised crime group – a Irish network involved in drugs supply, firearms and money laundering.

The gang orchestrated the importation of multi-million pound drug shipments.

Kavanagh lived with his family in a fortified mansion, complete with reinforced doors and bulletproof glass, in Tamworth, Staffordshire, from where he ran his criminal empire.

When the National Crime Agency (NCA) raided the property in January 2019, officers found numerous weapons, including an illegal stun gun for which he was eventually given a three-year jail sentence.

Officers also seized cash worth around £35,000.
