Six e-motorbikes, 20 e-scooters and six e-bikes were seized in a major crackdown on criminal activity by Gardaí yesterday.

Gardaí also seized one motorbike, 19 shotgun cartridges, designer goods valued at over €9,000, €3,410 in cash and drugs worth €575.

The seizure was part of Operation Meacán, which targets modes of transport suspected of being used in criminal activity.

Authorities believe criminals in Dublin are using e-scooters and e-bikes for drug distribution, money laundering, transporting weapons, drug-related intimidation and other illegal activity.

Gardaí say suspected criminals drive e-bikes and e-scooters on footpaths, laneways and in parks to avoid detection.
