Gardaí have made an arrest after significant cash withdrawals were made from ATMs across Dublin and Cork over the last month.
On Thursday 11 September, gardaí attached to the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) received information in relation to the withdrawals, which occurred between 11 August and 9 September 2025, and involved the use of bank cards linked to accounts in Poland and Norway.
Gardaí located and searched a vehicle in the Lucan area of Dublin on 13 September, and recovered “a substantial quantity of cash” and multiple bank cards.
A male in his early 30s was arrested under Section 72 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 and detained.
Following this, a female in her mid-30s was arrested at a residence in Dublin under the same legislation and also detained.
Both individuals remain in custody at garda stations in the Dublin region.
A further search was carried out at a residence in Cork, where gardaí recovered additional cash, foreign currency, false identification documents, bank cards and mobile phones.
Over €90,000 cash has been seized to date in this investigation, and Gardaí are currently liaising with international law enforcement agencies through Europol.
