Twenty-seven vehicles, Rolex watches and jet-skis were just some of the items seized by Gardai during multi-county searches into a crime organisation.
Some 150 Gardai, assisted by colleagues in the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), carried out extensive searches on Thursday in counties Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, Dublin and Mayo.
The series of luxury goods seizures came as part of the investigation into a Munster-based organised crime group.
The group is involved in laundering the proceeds of organised criminality through the second-hand motor trade, real estate purchases, property developments and the purchase of high value goods.

The operation was cited as a significant development in CAB’s ongoing proceeds of crime investigation.
