The Polish owners of a horse purchased in Ireland a year ago have received correspondence from wanted woman Catherine O’Brien alleging that the animal was stolen.

The stallion was one of a number of horses linked to a horse investment scheme which is currently being investigated by gardaí as part of a live probe into the activities of the Buttevant woman.
