Crime World Extra: The Burglary Gang That Terrorised The Nation

In life they formed a prolific burglary gang that terrorised the country and made use of the motorway system as a getaway route.

Criminals Graham Taylor, Karl Freeman and Dean Maguire died together last July in a horror road crash when the car they were travelling in collided head-on with a lorry as they drove down the wrong side of the N7.

But what is the legacy of the trio and has there been any significant effects on crime figures in the areas they targeted in recent weeks.

Nicola Tallant talks to Irish independent crime correspondent Ken Foy about the life and times of the three notorious mobsters and the plummeting burglary rates since their death.
