Three teenagers have been arrested in south Dublin as part of an investigation targeting a crime gang.
Stolen car keys, balaclavas and iron bars were recovered in Ballinteer overnight.
A garda operation, carried out in the early hours of Thursday morning, saw a car intercepted in south Dublin and three boys in their mid-teens arrested.
They were detained in Ballinteer as part of ongoing investigations targeting a criminal group involved in opportunistic thefts from parked cars, burglary and related crimes.
A number of stolen car keys, wallets and bank cards were recovered from the vehicle, along with balaclavas, iron bars, torches and snoods.
The car had been reported stolen following a burglary in recent days in Greystones, Co Wicklow.
The teenagers are being held at a Garda station in the capital.
