Ireland Teenager accused of false imprisonment and extortion in Bluebell burglary
Greg Green, an 18-year-old man, is accused of aggravated burglary, false imprisonment and extortion against a woman at her former home in Bluebell, Dublin, on 7 October 2023. Gardaí were directed to charge him with false imprisonment, aggravated burglary, assault causing harm and demanding money with menaces, and the Director of Public Prosecutions authorised trial on indictment. On 31 August 2024 he appeared before Judge William Aylmer at Dublin District Court, where he was granted bail with a sign-on condition and a no-contact order instead of the curfew the garda had sought, and he did not address the court or indicate a plea. He is due back at the District Court in September 2024 to be served with a book of evidence and returned for trial.
