'Rathkeale Rovers' gang jailed over multi-million pound rhino horn plot
Members of an organised crime gang have been jailed for up to six years and eight months, after plotting to steal up to £57m in rhino horn and Chinese artefacts in a series of museum raids.
The group, dubbed the "Rathkeale Rovers" because of their links to the Co Limerick town, targeted high-value objects in a string of break-ins, including at Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum and Durham's Oriental Museum in 2012.
