DOCUMENTS relating to a suspected fraud in Northern Ireland were recovered during a raid by Gardaí in Co Donegal.
Three men were arrested during the investigation into a Romanian organised crime gang, Gardaí have said.
Three Romanian men, aged 24, 25 and 31, were detained following the search of a house in Letterkenny on Tuesday morning.
Garda described the operation as "part of an ongoing investigation into a Romanian organised crime group" which is believed to also impact on Northern Ireland.
A large quantity of fraud paraphernalia was uncovered in the search.
Suspected cloned credit cards, credit cards issued in false names, bank account details, false Romanian identity documents, credit card machines, till rolls and a number of suspected stolen Irish and UK passports and driving licences, along with two cars bought on finance obtained on bank accounts opened in false names, were seized.
A Garda spokesman said much of the seized items relate to suspected frauds in the north, adding that officers are working with Europol and the PSNI.
