Cash, documents and a Rolex watch were among items seized after the Criminal Assets Bureau carried out searches in counties Donegal, Limerick and Cork today.
The operation was targeting a Limerick based organised crime gang. It was conducted by CAB officers and supported by the Southern Regional Armed Responsse Unit and gardaí from Donegal and Limerick.
Searches were conducted in five separate locations.
The items seized included a Rolex watch, €8,900 in cash at the Limerick search site, €14,000 in cash at the Cork search site, and documents and conveyance files.
The operation marks a significant development in the overall CAB proceeds of crime investigation, which will target assets including properties linked to this gang.
