WATCH: Louth gangster Dean Thornton releases rap video featuring drug props

Thornton was previously jailed for his role in the abduction and assault of a man

Irish gangster Dean Thornton has released a rap music video featuring what appears to be drug props. 

The video - which features shots filmed in a housing estate with masked men and children - was released by Dearfxch TV on YouTube on Wednesday (May 1) and has since amassed almost 6,500 views. 

According to Breaking News, Thornton was jailed for three years in 2021 with time served for his role in the abduction and assault of a Drogheda man. 

Scenes appear to show drugs being prepared and smoked, however a warning at the beginning of the video states, "Any props used in this video that show resemblance to any illegal materials are merely props and should not be taken seriously. Seriously, don't try this at home."
