A few items of Irish Constabulary

Leigh - why did he 'punch' you off your bike - sounds like a good story ? Are all three of those uniforms RIC?

(Mental health issues Merv - probably just did'nt like people in pointy hedgear on little bikes).

Just the two uniforms on the left are RIC I think.

Sadly some of the RIC items pictured above have been stolen within the past month, following a smash and grab raid at the museum in Cultra. No doubt they will appear on the market soon so anyone offered such items should be aware they are security marked, and should inform the PSNI or their local police force.

Peter - that's a tragedy. Do you think it is a genuine theft - or, perhaps has a political background ?
