Two men, aged 27 and 34, have been arrested in connection with ATM fraud after a search of a house in Malahide, Co Dublin.

The Garda National Economic Crime Bureau carried out a search of a house in Malahide yesterday at around 7am.

The investigation related to incidents in a number of areas, including Drogheda, Swords and Blanchardstown, as part of an operation targeting cash reversal attacks on ATMs.

Cash reversals are where the amount of money sought by an ATM user is not dispensed and suspects use an implement to retrieve the cash, thus damaging and shutting down the cash machine.

Clothing, cash and a number of prepaid cards were seized during the search of the house.

Both men are due to appear at the Criminal Courts of Justice.
