Teen minibus thief remanded

A 15-year-old boy, who stole a minibus from an old folks’ day centre, which had a massive impact on the lives of 75 elderly people, has been remanded in custody pending sentence.

The minibus ferried the elderly people - many of whom live alone and some who have disabilities – to and from the day centre. Many were deprived of availing of its services for two months after it was stolen and later found burned out.
