Gardaí have seized seven scrambler motorbikes and a quad bike in a planned operation in Dublin.
The seizures were in response to the illegal use of scramblers in Ballyfermot and Clondalkin areas of the capital..
A garda spokesperson said: “As part of the operation five residential properties were searched under warrant as a result of ongoing investigations into a number of incidents of criminal damage in public parks and endangerment to members of the public by the users of these high powered motorbikes.”
As a result of the searches seven scrambler motorbikes and one quad bike were seized.
Two of the bikes seized were confirmed as stolen and gardaí are in the process of returning them to their owners.
There were no arrests during this operation and investigations are ongoing.
