Gardai have dealt a significant blow to an organised crime group (OCG) in Dublin after officers seized almost €350,000 in cash.
As part of an operation targeting an OCG involved in the sale and supply of controlled drugs and money laundering activities in the Dublin area, gardaí seized €345,640 in cash following the search of a vehicle in Drumcondra, Dublin 9, on Friday.
The operation was carried out by the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT) who searched three male passengers in the vehicle and their luggage and located and seized an estimated €345,640 cash.
Three males, aged in their 40s, were arrested by Gardaí and are currently being detained at Garda Stations in the Dublin Region.
Commenting on the investigation, Assistant Commissioner Paul Cleary, Dublin Metropolitan Region described the outcome as “significant”.
“This significant seizure of cash not only removes ill-gotten gains from the hands of criminals, but also deprives them of money they would have used to fund further criminal activities and cause harm in our communities”.
