Both men, who are aged in their 30s, were arrested.
The Garda spokesman said a BMW SUV was searched as part of a follow-up operation and 13 fraudulent cards were seized along with “expensive designer clothing and a number of receipts for other expensive goods believed to have been purchased using cloned credit cards in the Dublin City area”.
