Corkman on pedal bike and wearing balaclava robbed off-licence at knifepoint

Accused then cycled to grounds of UCC, where he counted the money, changed his clothes, and discarded knife and clothing, court heard

It is alleged that after 7.30pm on January 5, the accused went to the Carry-Out on Gilabbey Street, Cork, wearing a balaclava, and that he produced a knife, putting a member of staff in fear and demanding cash.

An armed raider on a pedal cycle robbed an off-licence while wearing a balaclava and carrying a knife and he then cycled to the grounds of UCC where he changed his clothes and counted the money.

These were the allegations made against Keith Coleman during an application for bail at Cork District Court.
