The investigation is now focusing on the origins of the money used to purchase the watches.

Gardaí suspect the funds were obtained through criminal activity - such as burglary or theft.

The investigation is part of Operation Thor - which was launched in 2015 to tackle burglary and associated crime in the winter.

Gardaí have also issued advice to the public on protecting themselves from burglary this winter.

They encourage keeping lights switched on, using time switches or motion detectors, locking all doors and windows, using a house alarm and storing keys away from windows.

The public have also been told never to keep large amounts of cash or jewellery in their home.
