On the morning of the 9th March 2016 a search operation commenced at premises relating to the activities of an organised crime group. The searches are ongoing at eleven private residences and one commercial premises in the Dublin area.
The searches are being conducted as part of an on-going investigation into organised crime groups which has been underway for some considerable time. The Criminal Assets Bureau has been assisted in the operation by personnel from the following Garda Units:
1. The Emergency Response Unit
2. Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau
3. Special Detective Unit
4. Dublin Metropolitan South Division
5. Dublin Metropolitan North Central Division
6. Garda Síochána Technical Bureau
7. Garda Operational Support Unit
Assistance has also been provided by the Revenue Customs service. At this time the operation is on-going and it is anticipated that it will take some time for all searches to be completed.
Further updates will follow.
