‘Menace to society’ gets 10 years for crime spree

A robber described as a “menace to society who caused fear and terror” when he held up six Dublin businesses armed with a knife has been jailed for 10 years with three suspended.

In one robbery, Paul Carabini, aged 48, held a knife to a pregnant bank worker’s stomach while demanding cash to feed his drug habit.

Garda Gary Molloy said Carabini did not know the bank worker was in the early stages of pregnancy.
