The reason why gang boss Mr Flashy still uses taxis despite botched hit

Gang boss Mr Flashy is still using taxis to move around – despite being targeted in one in a botched hit less than a month ago.

The Irish Mirror can reveal the 29-year-old Dublin thug continues to be ferried around in cabs to evade his rivals out to kill him. Sources have told how the gangster believes that taxis are harder to follow and move around more quickly as they avail of bus lanes.

The vehicles are also less likely to come under the suspicion of gardai. He and his close associate were in a taxi on June 20 when it came under fire in north-west Dublin but the pair managed to flee on foot.
