A man jailed for mocking the death of two police officers is behind bars for stealing six street sculptures.
The Glasgow Times reported in December 2022 that the theft of the sculptures had been a “huge blow to the community and the local artists who had worked hard to create the sculptures.”The police officer dedicated weeks to the enquiry, carrying out door to door interviews and reviewing hours of CCTV footage, and she discovered nine of the popular statues had been removed - by brute force, using power tools and being dragged by a vehicle - over a four week period.
McCann made headlines in 2014 after being locked up for making fun of the death of two Greater Manchester constables Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone two years earlier at the hands of killer Dale Cregan McCann wrote:"Only two of yous should have been 22 of yous. Thats karma coming back to bite yous ratbags for removing the cross monument honouring the late great Alan Ryan.In this latest case, the court heard that the statues were in McNeil Street in the Gorbals.On December 12, McCann and others were spotted by residents putting rope attached to a motor around one.They returned later that night.
