Criminal Assets Bureau Search Locations In Co. Tipperary.

Today May 30th, the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), assisted by Gardaí; involving 150 personnel, conducted searches at some 20 locations across counties Tipperary, Limerick, Clare, Dublin and Mayo.

During the searches, 27 motor vehicles were seized, together with €218,000 in cash; six Rolex watches; five jet-skis’; two rigid inflatable boats; Louis Vuitton bags, various electronic devices, suspected cocaine and paper records including financial documentation.

One person was arrested in connection with the seizure of the suspected cocaine and remains detained at a Limerick city Garda station.

The operation was conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into individuals linked to a Munster-based organised crime grouping.

The operation targeted persons which CAB believe is involved in laundering the proceeds of organised crime, through outlets including the second hand motor trade, real estate purchases, property developments and the purchase of high value goods.
In a statement, Gardaí confirm that today’s operation marks a significant development in CAB’s continuing “Proceeds of Crime” investigation.

Imagine.

“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away”.
[Psalm 90:10 King James Version]

We presently live in a world which is totally out of control, as individuals struggle to gain power, in order to satisfy an appetite for greed.
The lyrics hereunder encourage listeners to imagine a world of peace, without borders separating nations, without materialism and without religion.

Lyrics: Singer, Songwriter and Musician John Winston Lennon and wife, Yoko Ono.
Vocals: Swedish Pop, Soul, Rock singer and Guitarist Chris Kläfford (Mikael Christoffer Sjögren).

Imagine.

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us, only sky.
Imagine all the people,
Living for today.
You…
You may say I’m a dreamer,
But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us,
And the world will be as one.

Imagine there’s no countries,
It isn’t hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace.
You…
You may say I’m a dreamer,
But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us,
And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the world.
You…
You may say I’m a dreamer,
But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

END.
