Robbing in the rain... with a brolly

SOME of Limerick’s more delicate criminals would appear to have strict healthcare criteria when preparing for jobs that necessitate venturing outdoors.

Whatever about a bulletproof vest, a brolly seems to be a must during the wet weather of late.

It appears two teenage thieves feared a wetting more than anything else when going out on a raid last Monday in heavy rain. As well as brandishing a handgun, they also held aloft an umbrella.
