paddymac The Northern Bank Raid (93* d) RE: The Northern Bank Raid 20 Mar 05


I had occasion to be researching some other things today and came across three reports of money linked to the beig heist. First was the 50k pounds found in the loo of the police club near Belfast, which was immediately branded by Orde and other establishment folk as an "IRA plant." Then the 60K pounds picked up at a house in County Cork. The Garda forensics unit were reoprtedlu hard at work tracing it, or at least trying to trace it to the big heist, but haven't found any reports yet that any of it has actually been connected to the heist. And most recent was the single mother of one who tried to change two 20 pound notes at a bank in Australia. She received the notes from a Belfast bank, and both were included in the incorrect list of serial numbers promulgated shortly after the heist. The law down under has reportedly accepted her innocence, but they haven't yet reimbursed her for the legit 40 pounds. Seems sort of tacky to me. So there ye have it, spots fans, nothing yet but smoke and mirrors.
