Irish ‘Ho Hum Bandit’ to plead guilty

An Irishman dubbed the Ho Hum Bandit will finally plead guilty to a series of bank robberies in the US.

Adam Lynch, 35, was arrested more than a year and a half ago after he confessed his crimes to his estranged girlfriend in a bid to win her back.

The ex-girlfriend immediately phoned the police to say she was with the Ho Hum Bandit, so named because the robber looked bored as he threatened bank staff, even yawning during one hold-up.
