Court hears how teen mugger was introduced to 'drink and drugs' from age of 10

A teenage mugger who was “fed” drugs and alcohol from the age of 10 by his aunt and uncle will be sentenced next month.

The then 16-year-old boy pleaded guilty in December to attempted robbery of a woman who had been out walking her dogs at Marina Village, Malahide, Dublin, on the night of April 15, 2017.
