ONE MAN has been arrested following a major garda investigation - including the Regional Armed Support Unit from Limerick - into thefts of agricultural machinery and livestock.
The thefts, which occurred from November 2022 to February 2023 in the Kerry and Cork West divisions, resulted in approximately €110,000 of farm machinery and livestock being stolen. A tractor and slurry tanker were later recovered.
A garda spokesperson said: "Through an extensive investigation conducted by gardaí from Cork West and Kerry, it was suspected the thefts were linked to an organised crime group believed to be involved in the removal of livestock and machinery from this jurisdiction."
