Fake-gun raider jailed for seven years

One of three men who forced a porter to open up a bank at gun point telling him they had kidnapped his wife has been jailed for seven years by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Glen Keegan (aged 25) and two accomplices, who were not before the court, failed in the armed raid of the Bank of Ireland on Main Street in Tallaght as the porter was able to activate a silent alarm calling gardaí to the scene.
