Four men convicted of stealing cars, motor homes and caravans have been sentenced to prison.
Police say Charlie and Martin Ward, and John and Martin McDonagh, all in their 20s or 30s, were responsible for stealing hundreds of caravans from driveways and highway service areas.
Police said the four had more than 700,000 pounds ($1 million) worth of stolen goods in their possession when they were arrested in 2007. In the year after their arrest, police said the total number of caravan thefts fell from 848 to 454.
Judge Patrick Hooton sentenced Martin McDonagh and Charlie Ward to consecutive sentences of four and five years, and the other two men to four years.
