Two arrested over artefacts plundered from ship
Two men were arrested yesterday following a joint surveillance operation by gardaí, customs officers and officials from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. It still isn’t clear how much was taken from the sunken wreck of the Amity, but so far an anchor and a canon have been recovered.
“The investigation is ongoing and we are seeking to speak to other people who we believe are connected to this incident,” a garda spokesman said.
