Pics: The guards are really bad at undercover surveillance operations

This is comical.

Gardaí assault Lucan December 2018

This is comical.

Picture the scenario; the guards have been chasing a criminal for months, they finally track down his whereabouts and they’re outside the safe-house ready to arrest him.

The guards rush in and nobody is in there… What happened? How was the criminal tipped off?

Maybe he ran out of data on his phone and looked to see if there was any spare wifi network nearby and that was enough.

That’s a ridiculous theory that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever… or does it.

Sorcha de Paor sent us in this photo earlier after coming across a very interesting network on her phone.

We’re aware that this might be some smart alec having a laugh but there’s also a pretty high probability that it’s actually the garda surveillance van.

Only in Ireland.
