Gardaí seize half a million euro in organised crime crackdown in Dublin and Cavan

One man was arrested and is being held in Navan Garda Station.

HALF A MILLION euro in cash has been seized by the gardaí in north Dublin and Cavan as part of an operation targeting organised crime.

The operation was targeting an organised crime group who are believed to be involved in large-scale trafficking of drugs as well as money laundering. 

Five premises were searched across Cavan and northside Dublin, resulting in a large quantity of cash, valued around €500,000, being recovered.

One man, aged 38, has been arrested and is currently being detained in Navan Garda Station.

Speaking today, Assistant Commissioner O’Driscoll, Organised and Serious Crime said:

“This operation demonstrates the continued determination of An Garda Síochána to target organised crime through stopping the flow of money suspected to be proceeds of crime and which provides the motivation for organised crime groups to trade in drugs.”

    I suggest that the recipients of such creatures be tightly parcel-wrapped and dispatched by post to the senders.

    A license should be a requirement for owning any pet.

    Another reptile owner bashing article, they normally post one or two a year this year they seem to be constantly posting about the people that give the rest of us a bad name and portraying it as the norm. It’s not normal for someone to mistreat ANY animal, those who do should feel the full weight of the law. Reptiles are awesome and make great pets If you know how to take care of them, otherwise it’s just like buying a puppy and putting it in the back garden and leaving it there all day without walks, attention or even basic care.

    People seem to equate these exotic pets with cats and dogs – sure cats and dogs used to be wild but we domesticated them – that happened over thousands of years, with animals that were already comfortable with humans in the human world. It doesn’t matter if Justin Bieber has one and you’ve watched 100 YouTube videos, leave wild animals in the wild.
