More than 70 stolen electronic devices were recovered by gardaí following a search operation at a premises in Dublin last week.

It followed an investigation into the theft of a mobile phone last month, which was traced to the business premises in Dublin city centre.

Gardaí said that the search was carried out last Thursday and 36 laptops and 40 mobile phones were recovered.

An investigation is under way and gardaí said that no arrests have been made.

As part of their investigation, gardaí said that they worked with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.

A technical examination is being carried out on the recovered devices and gardaí are aiming to return them to their owners.

Anyone who has had their mobile phone stolen are advised to contact their service provider to block their SIM card and 15-digit IMEI number.

They should also contact their local garda station and report the theft along with phone details so that the phone can be potentially returned.
