This arrest took place through Operation Táirge, which is part of An Garda Síochána’s Crime Prevention and Reduction Strategy supporting operational activity aimed at detecting and preventing organised retail crime.
Organised retail crime typically refers to situations where a person, or a number of persons acting together, target retail outlets to steal significant quantities of goods to resell back into the retail supply chain through the black market. It can also involve refund fraud with the purpose of making a financial or material benefit and is usually co-ordinated and well-organised by people who recruit others to commit theft from retailers.
Operation Táirge is led by the Organised Retail Crime Tasking and Co-ordination Group within An Garda Síochána and supports each Garda region to monitor and respond to emerging trends in their area.
