Special branch robbery ; Terror agents warned

Agents operating within paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland were tonight urged to think carefully about how they operate if it is proven republicans were behind the break-in at a high security police station two weeks ago.

Former soldier turned spy Willie Carlin, who infiltrated Sinn Fein in 1974 and reported on them for 11 years, told PA News that agents currently working in Northern Ireland feared the IRA, or rogue elements within it, may have been responsible for the break-in 15 days ago at Castlereagh police station.
