Alongside efforts to disrupt and dismantle drug distribution networks, the operation was aimed at combatting drug-relation intimidation and further organised crime activity associated with these networks.

As part of Tuesday's searches, it resulted in the seizure of:

• Electric Scooters – 18
• Motorbike - 1
• Mini Scramblers - 5
• Motorised bicycles – 5
• Various Controlled Drugs – Approximately €55,000 worth (subject to analysis)

Gardaí said one person was arrested on the foot of an outstanding bench warrant.
