Four men and a woman have been arrested as part of an investigation into a 'fake Garda' gang suspected of calling to rural homes pretending to be members of An Garda Síochána.
The five people who were arrested on Tuesday morning include two men aged in their 30s, a man aged in his 50s, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s.
They are currently being held at five separate Garda stations in counties in the east of Ireland under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006.
