ART ATTACK | British policeman helped gardaí stop Martin Cahill’s attempts to sell stolen paintings
A top British policeman has revealed how he helped gardaÍ thwart Martin Cahill’s attempts to sell several paintings from the famous Beit collection.
‘The General’ was once Ireland’s most wanted man, with his most lucrative robbery being the theft of priceless masterpieces from Russborough House in Co. Wicklow in 1986.
But his attempts to offload his haul would ultimately lead to his assassination by the IRA in Dublin in 1994.
