CAB seize €23k cash, €8k Rolex watch and designer goods in Meath raids

The seizures were made during two raids on a home and a business property this morning as part of a crackdown on a drug gang.

Photos released show bundles of cash in €50 and €100 notes, the Rolex timepiece in its trademark green box, as well as several Louis Vuitton bags and wallets.

In addition to the items seized, over €200,000 was restrained in financial accounts.

A spokesperson for An Garda Siochana revealed: "The CAB investigation is focussed on the assets of an international Organised Criminal Group (OCG) involved in the cultivation, sale and supply of controlled drugs through a network of cannabis grow houses, and the subsequent laundering of the proceeds of their criminal conduct.
