A stolen motorbike from County Kildare was among five motorbikes discovered in a recent search operation conducted by gardaí.

Commenting on the discovery, a garda spokesperson said: "An intelligence led operation targeting the unauthorised taking of motorbikes in the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) and Eastern Region was conducted this morning, Wednesday, August 21, 2024 and led to the seizure of five motorbikes.

"Gardaí from the Detective Unit attached to Cabra and Blanchardstown Garda Stations were involved in a planned search of a property as part of investigations into organised crime in the Blanchardstown area of the DMR West.

"Following a search under warrant, five motorbikes were recovered, four of which have been confirmed as stolen in recent months in Dublin, Kildare and Meath."

The spokesperson continued: "One male, aged in his 40s, was arrested in connection with this investigation and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda station in the DMR.

"Gardaí are hoping to identify the owner of the fifth motorbike, a red Honda CR Series off-road motorcycle and confirm its status.

"Anyone who believes they are the owner of this vehicle, which may have been stolen in the last number of months, is asked to contact Blanchardstown Garda Station on 01 666 7000."

The spokesperson concluded by saying that garda investigations are currently ongoing.
