Gardai have arrested three males and recovered a large amount of property following an intelligence led operation in Co. Meath yesterday.
As part of an ongoing operation into the activities of Organised Crime gangs involved in large scale country wide theft, burglaries, and other criminal enterprises, Gardai from the Organised Crime Unit conducted a search of an Industrial unit in Batterstown, Co. Meath yesterday afternoon.
A large number of items, believed to be the proceeds of burglaries countywide, were recovered at the scene including 18 plasma televisions, numerous laptops, games consoles, builders equipment, cameras, mobile phones, and a large amount of jewellery. In addition two motorcycles that are believed to be stolen, were recovered.
Three males, two in their 20’s and one in his 30’s, were arrested at the scene.
They were brought to Trim and Navan Garda Stations where they have been detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
The three males are scheduled to appear before Navan District Court this evening at 5pm charged in connection with this operation.
