Chef who made hoax bomb calls given suspended sentence

A former Bewleys Hotel chef who made hoax calls stating there were bombs in the hotel carpark and kitchen has been given a suspended sentence by Judge Frank O’Donnell at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

David Lamb (aged 33) had been sacked from his job at Bewleys at Dublin Airport a few days before the incident and told gardai that he made the hoax calls because he had a grudge against the hotel, adding: "I think they should have been a little more fair to me."
