Illegal immigrants fail in fresh bail bid in ATM scam case

THREE illegal Romanian immigrants who have been in custody for the past five weeks again failed in their efforts to be released on bail yesterday.

The three were allegedly involved in an elaborate scam to steal cash from ATM machines when they were, according to gardaí, caught red-handed in Dungarvan on November 27.

A fourth member of the gang escaped and, despite a major garda manhunt throughout the south-east, has still not been found.
