Robber jailed for snatching €200 from pensioner at ATM

Victim says he no longer feels safe coming in to the city

A man who snatched €200 from a pensioner after he withdrew it from an ATM in Cork City and ran away with it has been jailed.

The victim said the last thing he expected on reaching the age of 65 was that he would be looking over his shoulder and nervous about coming into town. He said that he has changed his shopping habits and is reluctant to come into the city as a result of the crime.
