'Fast Eddie' Maher now in English jail IPSWICH, England, July 11 (UPI) -- A former armored car guard who fled England 19 years ago, allegedly with a large stash of stolen money, returned in custody Tuesday. The FBI turned Eddie Maher, 57, over to Suffolk police at Heathrow International Airport, The Sun reported. Maher made a brief court appearance in Ipswich, where he was held without bail. After the 6-minute hearing, he said "thank you." Police had been searching for Maher, nicknamed "Fast Eddie," since 1993. He allegedly drove off with 50 bags holding more than 1 million pounds ($1.55 million) while the guard he worked with was making a cash delivery to a bank. Investigators later found the car abandoned and empty and discovered Maher's partner and their son had flown to the United States a day earlier. His rented house had been cleared out. Maher was arrested in February in Ozark, Mo., after police got a tip on his whereabouts.
