Cartrain Vs Hirst Update The Greatest Art Media Stunt of 2009
First up again we would like to say thanks for your support. We have had some great feedback and laughs. The end of last year has been a rollercoaster for us and the Cartrain. As for a conclusion to the whole matter, Cartrain's bail was extended for another 3 weeks and the London arts and antiqties squad were in heavy discushions with the Crown Court. The Police wanted to drop the whole embarrassing matter but the Crown Court wanted to persue and prosecute Cartrain. After a long and anxious wait for us all we where very happy to hear they had decided to drop the charges against him. The conditions of his freedom was that he had to meet the Tate's head of securaty to discuss the matter. So there it is, Cartrain has got away with murder... well not exactly but he has got away with one of the highest value art crimes on British soil.
