St Manchan's Shrine - FOUND

Gardaí in Tullamore investigating the theft of an artefact from a church in Boher, Co Offaly yesterday, have now located the shrine and it is currently in Tullamore Garda station.

Suspicions were raised about a car that was seen in the area, travelling between Boher and Shannonbridge.

Two males were subsequently arrested on the M5 at Ronanstown, Co Dublin, and were taken into custody.

They were released earlier today, with a file being sent to the DPP.

The shrine was recovered after what Gardaí termed a 'intelligence led investigation.'
