A man has been arrested as part of a Garda operation targeting organised crime in Limerick city.

Gardaí believe the group was involved in commercial and domestic burglaries and the theft of high value vehicles over the last 12 months.

Officers searched a number of homes in the city on Monday and seized suspected cannabis with an approximate value of €6,500 along with a sum of cash.

The drugs seized are now subject to analysis by Forensic Science Ireland.

The operation was led by the Garda Clare/Tipperary Division supported by members from Galway and Limerick, the regional Armed Support Unit as well as the Garda Dog Unit.

A man in his 30s was also arrested and is currently being detained at a Garda station in Co Clare.
