Cash, mobile phones and three high-powered scrambler motorbikes, as well as several XL Bully dogs, have been seized by gardaí investigating an organised crime gang in west Dublin.
Three women - aged in their 20s, 30s and 50s - have been arrested and are being detained under anti-gang legislation.
They can be questioned for up to seven days.
Gardaí said the gang is involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, serious crime and feuding with rival organised crime groups.
A number of its members are before the courts on serious charges.
Gardaí from the Blanchardstown Drugs Unit, supported by the Crime Task Force and serious crime unit, commenced the search of a house in Corduff yesterday as part of a planned and targeted operation.
Uniformed gardaí on patrol in the area earlier in the week had been attacked by XL Bully dogs.
The Emergency Response Unit was called to force its way into the home to carry out the search.
Gardaí discovered thousands of euro in cash and several mobile phones, which were seized along with three high-powered scramblers.
Scramblers are used by drug dealers as part of street dealing supply networks.
Gardaí also removed several XL Bully dogs from the house.
The three women are being held in separate garda stations.
Gardaí said it is the latest operation targeting the activities of a family-based organised crime group in west Dublin involved in drug trafficking, money laundering and feuding with rival west and north Dublin gangs.
