A worldwide anti-fraud operation investigating 'spoof' phone calls has resulted in the arrests of six people in Ireland.
The arrests were made following searches in Dublin, Meath and Louth earlier this month, on November 8 and 9, and also saw 132 electronic devices seized along with 64 suspect bank accounts identified.
The sting operation was led by the London Metropolitan Police and saw Irish Gardai team up with police forces across the globe, as far as Australia, Canada and the United States.
