A large amount of suspected stolen clothing has been seized in Dublin.

Gardaí carried out planned searches of a lock-up in Meath Street in the city centre, and at a house in Drimnagh under Operation Thor.

As well as the suspected counterfeit items, financial records and a large amount of cash was recovered yesterday.

It was part of an intelligence-led operation into the distribution of counterfeit clothing in Dublin 8.

No arrests have been made.

The find was made as part of a garda anti-crime initiative codenamed Operation Thor.

Thor targets organised crime gangs and repeat offenders.
