This morning’s activity in Tralee is part of Operation Táirge, which supports garda action aimed at detecting and preventing organised retail crime.
It’s understood today’s searches and arrests are in response to thefts from businesses in Kerry in recent months; shops in the Tralee area have been mostly affected.
