Two residential searches were carried out in Ballinacurra Weston in Limerick by officers attached to the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), during a planned “intelligence-led” operation.
According to a source, the investigation is focussed on property assets linked to the alleged proceeds of drug dealing in the Limerick region.
As part of the garda probe, CAB officers located and seized documents arising out of today’s searches.
