Convenience store robber remanded on bail

A chronic drug addict who raided four convenience stores and terrified the staff and customers has been remanded on bail pending sentence because of evidence given in court that he has turned his life around.

Bradford Meehan (aged 38) of Stanaway Road, Crumlin, had already served a total of 14 years for two previous robberies in 1998 and 2004, when he robbed over €1,250 from three shops on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Stephen’s Day in 2007.
