Four men are due in court later today in connection with a burglary in Co Mayo.
It comes in the wake of a burglary at a house in the Claremorris area on Friday.
The four men and a 15-year-old boy were arrested at a property in the Ballinrobe area on Friday night.
They were detained under the provisions of Section 4 Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Castlebar and Westport Garda stations.
They have been questioned following a number of burglary and related incidents in the county.
Gardaí seized a high powered car and a commercial van from the group during the operation, as well as items of property believed to be linked to recent thefts.
The four men are due before Castlebar District Court this afternoon, while the teenager has been released without charge.
In a statement, gardaí said: "Investigating Gardaí are appealing for information.
"They are particularly appealing to anyone with information to offer in respect of sightings of a black hatchback type car or any suspicious activity in the South Mayo area on Friday to contact the Incident Room at Castlebar Garda station on 094 9038200 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111."
The arrests were made following a planned Garda operation across Mayo as part of Operation Thor, which is aimed at preventing and detecting burglary offences.
