As part of Operation Thor, Gardaí in Naas have seized €130,000 in cash, following an operation on the N7 last night, Monday January 30, 2023.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochana has said that, at approximately 10.30pm, Gardaí stopped and conducted a search of a vehicle on the N7.
The spokesperson explained: "During the course of the search, approximately €130,000 in cash was seized.
"A female in her 40s was arrested as a result and is currently detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Naas Garda station."
"Investigations are ongoing," they added.
Operation Thor, which was launched in November 2015, is designed to tackle the anticipated increase in the number of burglaries and associated criminal activity that usually occur in winter months by undertaking targeted enforcement and preventative activity.
Gardaí say that this initiative has 'successfully reduced the rate of winter burglaries, leading to a significant decline in property related crime since its introduction in 2015.'
The Winter Phase of Operation Thor was launched on September 30, 2022.
