Court hears Cork bank cashier asked 'is this a joke?' as man attempted to rob bank
A man who poses “a potentially serious risk to the community” was stopped outside an AIB bank in Cork with three knives in an open position, a tin of butane gas and he had a lighter taped to his left hand.
Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin imposed a three-year jail term, with the final year suspended, on Noel Cambridge of 22 Willow Park, Douglas Road, Cork, who pleaded guilty to a charge that on last August 21 he went to the Allied Irish Bank branch on Douglas Road and attempted to commit a robbery.
