The rise and fall of Glen Ward – the gangster known as ‘Mr Flashy’, has played out in less than a decade. Last week Glen Ward was given a five and a half year sentence while his brother Eric was previously jailed for five years. Because of the threat to his safety, Ward has been held on a 23.5 hour lock-up, while the address of the prison also cannot be published. 
However, gardaí have no doubt that they have not seen the last of the 32-year-old criminal, who is due to be released from prison while still in his mid-30s. 
By mid-2016 Glen Ward took the reins of the crime group which became known as the ‘Gucci Gang’ because of their taste for expensive clothing and jewellery. Ward was no exception to this and was given the nickname ‘Mr Flashy’.
