Alleged teen mugger remanded on conditional bail

A teenager who was allegedly videoed on a camera phone by his accomplice during a violent mugging of a 15-year-old boy was remanded on conditional bail today pending the preparation of a book of evidence.

A bench warrant had been issued for the 16-year-old boy’s arrest last week when he failed to appear in the Children’s Court. It had been intended that a date was to be set for him to be returned for trial to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court over three alleged robberies.
