As part of ongoing investigations into organised crime and drug-related intimidation, Gardaí from the DMR North Division conducted a search and arrest operation in North Dublin over the last week.
Between Monday 2nd – Friday 6th November 2026, four individuals were arrested under organised crime legislation.
Quantities of luxury items and cash also were seized, along with a Volvo XC90 car.
The operation was carried out by the Fógra Investigation Unit (DMR North) assisted by the Divisional Drugs Unit, Clontarf.
The arrested individuals (two males aged in their 20’s, and a male and female aged in their 40’s) have since been released without charge pending a file to the DPP.
These arrests and detentions bring to 12 the number of individuals arrested and detained by the Fógra Investigation Unit (DMR North) in respect of a criminal organisation operating in the Ballymun and North Dublin area.
Investigations are ongoing.
