A VIGILANTE group *has attacked a teenage gang’s ringleaders in a bid to put a stop to their reign of terror.

The crowd — who named themselves after the famous US biker gang Hell’s Angels — have fought back after the young thugs left people in parts of west Dublin *fearing for their lives.

We told yesterday how the teen mob have been behind a number of vicious assaults, *robberies and even threats on the lives of gardai.

Locals say the yobs — who move between Blanchardstown and out into north Co Dublin — have left parents too scared to let their kids out to play and pensioners terrified.

But we can reveal that *vigilante group ‘Hell’s Angels’ took matters into their own hands by attacking two of the gang’s leading figures.

A source told the Irish Sun: “Gardai are working tirelessly to put a stop to these lads, but their hands are often tied due to a lack of resources mixed with the lack of fear from these guys. They have no respect for the law.

“A vigilante group calling themselves the Hell’s Angels took it upon themselves to put a stop to this. Two of the *ringleaders in the Blanchardstown area were targeted in the space of a week.”

We revealed yesterday that the gang, with African origins, are being “left to run amok” by gardai because they don’t have the resources to deal with them.
