‘Love/Hate’ star refused bail and charged with role in €50,000 armed robbery

Love/Hate actor Stephen Clinch has been refused bail after he was charged with having a role in a €50,000 armed robbery at a hotel in Dublin city centre.

Dublin District Court heard a loaded gun was allegedly put to the head of a security worker collecting cash. It was claimed Mr Clinch later pointed the gun at another employee who gave chase.

Judge Michael Walsh heard 10 hotel employees pursued and disarmed Mr Clinch — cast as recurring character Noely in the RTÉ series — before restraining him and an alleged accomplice until gardaí arrived.
