Thieves 'bypassed' other valuables to steal rhino horn from Flatley home

The valuable Rhino horn taken from the Cork home of dance star Michael Flatley could fetch hundreds of thousands of euro if sold on the international black market.

The theft at Flatley’s Castlehyde House yesterday evening is believed to have been carried out by a Limerick-based gang who may have also been responsible for the theft of Rhino heads from the National Museum last year.
