Girlfriend turns in Irish bank robber

AN Irishman suspected of carrying out a string of two dozen armed bank robberies was turned in by his girlfriend, according to investigators and court documents in the US.

Adam Lynch confessed to his girlfriend that he was the Ho Hum Bandit in a desperate bid to win her back, it is alleged.

The couple were in the middle of a break up largely over arguments about where he managed to find a large amount of cash.
