Bookmaker raiders could be behind Taser attack on jewellers

GARDAÍ believe that eastern Europeans who robbed a bookmakers in Cork could be the same gang that carried out a horrific Taser and stun gun attack on a diamond dealer in the city last month.

Three members of the gang burst into Cashman’s bookmakers in Douglas village at 10.10am yesterday.

Two of them, armed with handguns, attacked the branch manager in a show of unnecessary and totally unprovoked violence.
