Teen girl spared jail after violent robberies and assault on Garda sergeant

A 17-year-old girl has been spared a custodial sentence for two violent robberies, having a baseball bat as a weapon and assaulting a Garda sergeant.

The girl had been remanded in custody earlier this month after the Dublin Children's Court heard that six pre-sentence probation reports on her were negative and she had not fully engaged with supports to help her address her use of drugs and alcohol.
