Bodycam Footage: Moment Birmingham drugs lord arrested at airport
This is the dramatic moment that Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh was arrested at Birmingham Airport as police finally shut down a huge criminal network. The footage shows the high-ranking member of the Kinahan organised crime group getting targeted as he tried to return to the UK.
Kavanagh, 54, 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. Video shows the man who acted as the figurehead of the Kinahan organisation in the UK being told what he is being arrested for before being hauled off to a police van.
When the NCA raided his home 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 in various denominations, including sterling, euros and Emirati dirhams, which had been stuffed into drawers, bags and down the back of sofa cushions.
He was jailed this week for 21 years along with two accomplices, who were given slightly shorter sentences.
