More than 40 vehicles, including scramblers, e-scooters and e-bikes, have been seized by gardaí at a number of locations in west Dublin.

Twenty residential properties were searched as part of the operation targetting "the unlawful use of e-bikes, scramblers and e-scooters".

A total of 41 vehicles were seized and two men have been arrested.

One man was arrested and has been charged in relation to a burglary in which two e-scooters were stolen.

A number of patrols and checkpoints were also conducted, which led to the arrest of another man over the dangerous driving of a scrambler on footpaths.

A caravan which was stolen last year was also recovered at one property.

Drugs including cannabis, cocaine, ketamine and heroin with a value of more than €75,000 were also seized.

It comes after a similar operation earlier this week in which 39 vehicles, mainly e-bikes, were seized following searches in the Dublin 10 and Dublin 24 areas.
