Gardaí to probe criminal gang link to cash for gold firms
Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has launched an inquiry into some cash-for-gold businesses.
He wants Gardaí to investigate whether some of the outlets buying gold jewellery are being run by organised crime gangs.
Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan will now look into the matter.
In the past few months there has been a significant increase in the number of these businesses starting around the country.
