Earphones, controllers, USB plugs, and chargers were seized in Dublin.

Gardai searched a house in Dublin 3 and a business in Oak Close in Dublin 12 yesterday as part of Operation Bannister.

They found 15,000 counterfeit items along with a significant amount of branded packaging.

Hard drives, mobile phones, and documentation were also seized.
