Twins who stole Easter eggs escape jail term

Drug-addicted identical twin brothers who hid their faces with tea towels "like Eastern women" when they robbed €42 worth of Easter Eggs on April Fool’s Day last year have been given suspended sentences.

Mark and Ciaran Cummins (aged 28), of Fortlawn Park, Blanchardstown carried a bucket and a screwdriver and claimed they had a gun when they demanded money but only got away with the Easter Eggs and chocolate.
