Garda posse rides out to bust cattle rustling operation

JOHN WAYNE tracked down many a cattle rustler in his days as lawman out on the mean prairies of the wild west.

But the great cowboy himself would be proud of the posse that rode out of not-so-wild Newcastle West last Sunday and got their man within hours.

A number of cattle had been rustled from a farm in Ballymackessy near the Co Limerick town at about 5.30am.
