Absolutely phenomenal headline and it's not even an exaggeration

Big Mags was the head of a "one family crime wave" responsible for thefts and violence across Stirling. They were dubbed "Scotland's Family from Hell" by the tabloids. "The amount of crimes committed in Stirling by that family was the stuff of legend so they weren't great to have around," he says.

With the family's crimes exposed and the local community's patience at an end, Big Mags and the Haneys were forced to leave the estate by a 400-strong mob - bigger than the one whipped up to remove the paedophile Alan Christie six months earlier. The crowd gathered near Mags's flat, chanting "build a bonfire and put the Haneys on the top".
