Bungling burglar fails to ‘cod’ gardaí

A BUNGLING burglar tried to “cod” gardaí after a smash and grab raid at one of Cork’s best known chippers went wrong.

At 2.15am a man armed with a concrete block smashed the front window at Lennox’s fast food restaurant on Anglesea Street, just yards from Garda headquarters in the city.

Gardaí were quickly on the scene, but by the time they arrived the culprit had fled empty-handed.
