The Garda operation targeted what they believe to be an organised crime group suspected of committing burglaries nationwide.

Two men are due to appear before the courts today, following an investigation into burglaries in the north-west.

They were arrested after searches in Kildare and Dublin last month, which led to the seizure of four vehicles and a substantial amount of suspected stolen property.
