A ‘fair cop’ for duo
TWO car thieves were caught in what was described as ‘a fair cop’ in 1991.
Walking along Shankill Street they noticed that the lock on a car door was damaged.
And when they found the keys in the ignition they succumbed to the temptation to take the vehicle.

On their way they saw the car being driven by the two youths.
