Suspended sentences for 'false imprisonment' men

A teenager who believed he was going to be killed said Hail Marys when he was kidnapped and driven up a mountain road on a foggy night by two men who were both given four-year suspended jail sentences today.

Superintendent Flor Horan described the actions of Michael Carey (aged 34) of O’Neill Crowley Terrace, Mitchelstown, Co Cork, and Alan Lynch (aged 22) of Brigown, Mitchelstown, as “bully boy tactics.”
