Stolen documents worth €500k to be returned

GARDAÍ have applied to the courts to have an estimated €500,000 worth of documents recovered in a criminal investigation returned to their rightful owner.

The police property application at Mullingar District Court was made by Superintendent John Gantly for the court to decide who is the rightful owner of the historic documents from the Stewart and Kincaid Collection.

The papers, lots 1-147, were listed for sale at Adams Auction Rooms, St Stephen’s Green, Dublin, in May of last year.
