Scotsman jailed for robbing vulnerable man

A Scotsman was jailed yesterday for the robbery of a vulnerable Romanian living in Cork and the last two years of the five-year sentence were suspended on his undertaking to leave Ireland when he gets out of prison.

Judge Brian O’Callaghan was particularly concerned about the fact Kevin McIntosh robbed what was of greatest value to the victim — his identification papers.

The injured party had to make a number of visits to the Romanian embassy in Dublin over several months in order to replace these papers at a cost of several hundred euro which would never be repaid to him.
