The CAB raids were assisted by the Emergency Response Unit, and local detectives attached to the Crumlin and Tallaght Districts, as well as the Customs Dog Unit.

The operation was targeting an individual with “strong links to organised criminality” across the Dublin Metropolitan Region, and is focused on the source of funds used to purchase and extensively re-develop a substantial property.

The operation is “a significant development” in the on-going proceeds of crime investigation, Gardaí said.
