A planned search was carried out at an address in the Sandyford area yesterday evening. Cash in excess of €300,000 was discovered and seized along with cash counting and packaging equipment.

Significant documentation was also recovered in the raid, including a ledger of locations where cash was due to be sent.

A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene and detained at Blackrock garda station. Follow-up searches were conducted in the Clondalkin area and a second man in his 30s was also arrested. He is being held at Clondalkin garda station.

It is understood these two men are connected to the Kinahan crime gang. Gardaí said the operation was part of “ongoing investigations targeting serious criminal activity” in the Dublin region.
