Money found in Belfast from Northern Bank robbery

The £50,000 (€72,000) recovered from the Newforge police club in Northern Ireland was definitely from the Northern Bank robbery, police said tonight.

The club is owned by the RUC Athletic Association and is used exclusively by serving and retired officers.

The find came after a call was made to the offices of the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman, it was revealed today.

The PSNI said the call was received last night by a person purporting to be a police officer.
