Six Due In Court Over Plasma TV Haul

Six men are due in court in Naas today charged in connection with the seizure of €1.6 million worth of stolen televisions.

The men were arrested at a house outside the village of Caragh following an operation by the Garda Organised Crime Unit.

The men aged between 23 and 51 years were charged last night with handling stolen goods.

They were arrested at around 8am yesterday morning after a search at the property uncovered a truck containing the plasma televisions, which had been stolen from a distribution centre in Santry in Dublin the night before.

One of the men has for some time been a target of the Organised Crime Unit and the Garda National Drugs Unit.

The six are being detained at Naas, Newbridge and Kildare garda stations pending their appearance before Naas District Court later this morning.
