Irish police bust beer bandits
Ireland's national police force has arrested two men in connection with
an audacious robbery last week on the landmark Guinness Brewery in
Dublin - but said Thursday they were still looking others involved in the
beer banditry.
The Garda Siochana police force declined to specify how many kegs
have been recovered following the Nov. 29 raid, when a lone man drove a
truck into the brewery, hitched up a trailer loaded with 450 kegs and
drove straight out through the security gate into rush-hour traffic.
Guinness called it the biggest robbery in the 248-year history of the
brewery.
Police said they recovered an unspecified volume of the stolen beer
Monday at an undisclosed location in County Meath, northwest of
Dublin, and arrested two men Tuesday on suspicion of involvement with the
theft.
