Boy bailed after traumatising burglary on home of elderly woman

A teenager charged over a burglary in Dublin where an elderly woman suffered a broken finger when an engagement ring was forcibly taken from her, was remanded on conditional bail today.

The boy (aged 15), had been charged at the Dublin Children's Court with burglary at Gledswood Park, in Clonskeagh, on the evening of September 13 last year. However, in May it was held the teen and a co-defendant, a boy also aged 15, should be sent forward for trial to the Circuit Court, which can, on conviction, impose lengthier sentences.
