Gardaí have seized more than €200,000 in cash and other goods as part of an operation targeting a criminal group involved in an ongoing feud in the southside of Limerick City.
Searches involving more than 100 members of An Garda Síochána at divisional, regional and national level, including the Garda Armed Support Unit (ASU), the Garda Dog Unit, and the Emergency Response Unit, took place at 17 different locations in Tuesday.
During the course of these searches, a host of different items were seized including five vehicles, a large amount in cash, a quantity of suspected cannabis, a number of high value watches, and a significant amount of designer goods. The items and cash seized have a combined estimated value of more than €235,000.
The criminal group targeted, gardaí say, are involved in an escalating feud on Limerick City's southside which has previously resulted in pipe bomb and arson attacks, the discharge of firearms, drug dealing and other serious incidents.
One male juvenile was arrested in connection with the seizure of drugs and has since been released pending referral to the Garda Youth Diversion Programme.
A garda spokesperson said the investigation remains ongoing.
