Case against gang target to stand

A judge has refused to throw out a phone theft case brought against gang target Ross Hutch.

Ross Hutch, 24, who won €33,000 in cash and prizes on RTÉ’s Winning Streak last year, is accused of stealing a man’s iPhone worth €875 at Marino Mart last Sunday.

Garda Sharon Kavanagh told Judge Anthony Halpin at Dublin District Court yesterday that the father of two with an address at Portland Place, in Dublin 1 made no reply when he was charged. He was arrested on Sunday evening and held overnight before being brought to court.
