Six people have been arrested and eight vehicles, 16 watches and €700,000 in cash have been seized in Garda search operations in West Dublin.

The raids were carried out as part of Operation Tara, an ongoing initiative aimed at tackling the capacity of organised crimes groups (OGCs) to negatively impact communities around the country through the sale of controlled drugs and associated intimidation of vulnerable people.
