Both men have since been charged and are due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin this morning.
Operation Táirge forms part of the Garda Crime Prevention and Reduction Strategy and focuses on identifying and disrupting groups involved in organised retail theft, refund fraud and other offences linked to the black market.
The investigation is ongoing.
