All five were arrested as part of the Gardai's much publicised Operation Thor initiative which was launched last year to target high profile burglary gangs.
The initiative was carried out early this morning by local gardai, detective units, the Regional Support Unit (RSU) and Traffic Corps personnel.
"Gardai conducted an Operation Thor initiative in Ballymahon this morning during the course of which a number of searches were conducted in the area," said a Garda spokesperson.
"As a result of those searches four people were arrested and during a follow up operation a fifth person was arrested."
