According to the pictures provided by An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na, some of the vehicles seized include a number of Range Rover, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Volkswagen and Skoda models.<\/p>\n

According to An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na, this group is involved in laundering the proceeds of organised criminality through the second hand motor trade, real estate purchases, property developments and the purchase of high value goods.<\/p>\n

The operation involved 150 personnel conducting searches at 20 locations across Ireland.<\/p>\n

Along with the vehicles and cash, CAB also seized six Rolex watches, five jet-skis, two rigid inflatable boats, designer goods (Louis Vuitton bags), electronic devices and assorted documentation including financial documents, and a quantity of suspected cocaine.<\/p>\n

One person was arrested in connection with this seizure of cocaine and they are currently being detained at a Limerick city Garda station.<\/p>\n
