A garda station has been searched and a member of An Garda Síochána suspended as part of an investigation into the use of bogus insurance certificates.
Sixteen homes and a garda station in Limerick were searched last night and today.
Documents, phones, personal computers and two cars have been seized.
The investigation is led by officers from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
No one has been arrested at this time and the investigation continues.
The investigation began after suspicions arose in relation to a number of insurance declarations made at a garda station in Limerick.
Officers discovered that people driving without insurance had been presenting forged, invalid or out of date documents at the garda station and these had been accepted and registered as legitimate.
The suspended garda is expected to be interviewed under caution in the coming weeks.
