Boy, 14, gets six months for ATM scam

A 14-year-old-boy, who was involved a spate of ATM scams where five men each had €200 stolen from under their noses, has been given a six-month sentence by Judge Ann Ryan at the Dublin Children’s Court.

She suspended the sentence for one year after hearing today that €1,000 in compensation had been made available to be divided among the victims.
