Two men have been arrested in Dublin for handling stolen power-tools worth over 50-thousand euro.
They were detained on Saturday night after two vehicles, one of which was stolen, were stopped at Dublin Port after arriving from the UK.
Searches revealed a large quantity of stolen industrial power tools and gardening machinery, destined for illegal sale in Ireland.
The men - who are aged 38 and 29 and are both Irish - have been charged in relation to handling of stolen goods and are due to appear in Court this morning
Investigations are now on-going with the UK authorities to identify the owners of the property.
