After almost two decades on the run, a fugitive was this week finally sent to prison for five years. Eddie Maher was jailed for stealing a security van containing £1.2 million in Suffolk about 20 years ago. After getting away with about 30 sacks of cash into a stolen getaway vehicle, Maher later went on the run and fled to the USA. At the time of his arrest on February 9, 2012, he was working as a cable engineer in Missouri.
