'Toilet captive' actually helped robbers, court hears

A bookmaker employee who claimed he was locked in a toilet while robbers made off with a safe but was seen on CCTV helping them carry it has being jailed for 18 months.

Michael Joyce (aged 43), of Harelawn Road, Clondalkin tried to hide his face when he realised he was being filmed while helping the two men carry the safe at Paddy Power Bookmakers in Ballycullen.
