Six men have been sentenced at a court in Birmingham in relation to conspiracy to steal rhino horns and rare Chinese artefacts from stately homes and museums across the UK in 2012.
Seven men from the gang of 13 were sentenced yesterday.
This morning, Judge Murray Creed sentenced John 'Kerry' O'Brien and Michael Hegarty to six-and-a-half years in prison; Richard Sheridan and Patrick Clarke each received five-and-a-half years, while Terence McNamara was sentenced to four years in prison.
Another man, Ashley Dad, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison.
He was sentenced in absentia as he failed to appear in court.
The 13-man gang, dubbed the Rathkeale Rovers because of their links to the Co Limerick town, targeted high-value objects in a string of break-ins, including at Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum and Durham's Oriental Museum in 2012.
