Teen ordered to work on 'victim awareness' after gang mugging
A 16-year-old boy has been spared a custodial sentence and was placed on probation for nine months for taking part in a gang mugging with a group of girls.
Judge Heather Perrin heard at the Children's Court that the teenager, who has three other criminal convictions for public order and violence at a garda station, was pleading guilty to an attempted robbery at a north side suburb in Dublin, on August 29, 2008.
