Cash, unstamped cigarettes, and a car were seized earlier today following a number of searches at premises on the north side of Cork city.

€15,015 was seized in the intelligence-led operation, along with a 2011 Skoda Octavia and 8,200 unstamped cigarettes.

The unstamped cigarettes represented an estimated loss to the Exchequer of €3,900.

Files are being prepared with a view to prosecute.
