Teen accused of armed robbery 'may be unfit to plea'

Psychiatric reports have been sought in the case of a 16-year-old boy arrested for holding up a shop while armed with an imitation handgun, to clarify whether he is fit to plea.

The north Dublin teenager had been charged at the Children’s Court with the robbery of a shop in Finglas, on date in September last year. He has also been charged under the Firearms act for production of an imitation handgun on the same date.
