Attempted gold-and-cash robbery failed when accomplices ran off with keys

The armed robbery of a gold storage business turned into a "fiasco" when the raiders had to be rescued by the fire brigade after locking themselves in, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court has heard.

Corkman Aidan Murphy (aged 32) was today jailed for five years by Judge Martin Nolan for his role in the offence. His two accomplices are still before the courts.
