Suspected robbery accomplice thought job was 'suicidal'

A man accused of plotting to steal from a cash-in-transit van has told a jury he “bottled it” because he thought the job was “suicidal”.

Joseph Warren (aged 30) told the jury that he had been instructed by Eamonn Dunne to gain access to the Nissan Patrol jeep using a consaw so that Michael ‘Chino’ Ryan could get into it. He was then to walk away.
