Designer clothing, a Rolex watch and thousands in cash have been seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau in raids in Dublin this morning.
The searches both took place in the Dublin 9 area and targeted a drug gang operating in north Dublin.
Gardai are particularly targeting the cash collected by the gang in an effort to hamper drug dealing in the area.
Images of the clothing, cash and watch that were seized have been shared by An Garda Siochana.
They said: "This morning, Thursday 30th January 2020, searches were conducted at two locations in the Dublin 9 area. The Criminal Assets Bureau were assisted by local Detective and Drug Unit personnel along with the Regional Armed Support Unit.
The following items of note were seized:
- €6,000 cash
- 5 Canada Goose coats
- 1 Moncler coat
- 2 Rolex watches
- The above is in addition to €14,560 that was seized by the local Gardaí from targeted searches on 13 September 2019
"This morning’s search operation is a significant development in an on-going investigation in to cash accumulated by a local Organised Crime Gang from the sale and supply of controlled drugs.
"This is an example of the Criminal Assets Bureau working with local Gardaí to target the low value assets of persons involved in drug dealing in the community in North Dublin."
