The Criminal Assets Bureau (Cab) has seized drugs, cash and other assets during searches of five properties in an operation targeting a Co Louth drugs gang. Instead, Tuesday’s operation focused on a drugs gang operating in Dundalk, all of whom live close to each other in the town. Gardaí seized cocaine valued at about €35,000 along with a Ford Kuga, a Nissan X-Trail and €16,600 in cash. Cab said the search operation was a significant juncture in its ongoing joint operation with gardaí based in the Louth division into the specific gang. “Over the course of this on-going investigation €62,650 in cash believed to be the proceeds of crime has previously been seized,” a statement said.
