€14,000 in cash seized in Cork by Criminal Assets Bureau

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) have seized €14,000 in cash during a search operation in Cork today.

CAB conducted a series of searches across Donegal, Limerick and Cork earlier today, as part of an operation targeting a Limerick based Organised Crime Group.

The operation was conducted by Bureau Officers, supported by the Southern Regional Armed Response Unit and Gardaí from Donegal and Limerick.

Searches were conducted in five separate locations, and resulted in the seizure of over €20,000 in cash, a Rolex watch, as well as documents and conveyance files.

€14,000 in cash was seized at the Cork search site, while a further €8,900 was seized during a search in Limerick.

Gardaí said that Friday’s search operation “marks a significant development in the overall CAB proceeds of crime investigation” which will target assets including properties linked to the Limerick Organised Crime Group.
