Three released in major burglary investigation in Sligo & Midlands



The three people who were arrested as part of an investigation into almost 30 burglaries across County Sligo and four other counties have been released without charge.

The three males, aged 26, 21 and a juvenile were arrested on Tuesday in the Capital and taken to Garda stations in the Mayo/Roscommon/Longford Division, where they had been detained under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act.

They were arrested after searches of four properties in the Dublin Metropolitan Region.

During the course of the searches, property was seized which is believed to be the proceeds of organised criminal activity, which included a role watch, designer handbags and shoes and a substantial amount of cash.

Other property recovered included mobile phones, multiple car keys and log books of vehicles.

Gardai say that a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
