CAB searches properties in operation against Limerick gang

A criminal gang based in Limerick City was targeted yesterday by the Criminal Assets Bureau in a bid to identify lands purchased by the group.

The CAB, backed up by the armed Regional Support Unit and local officers, swooped on four properties in the Mid-West: two in Limerick City and one in both Clare and Tipperary.

Properties searched included a dwelling in a halting site in Limerick City – the home of a couple, aged in their late 30s/early 40s.
