Case No. 18251Robbery · Co. Offaly · 1 Nov 2023

Young Tullamore man sent for trial on shop robbery charge

Brandon Gonoude (19), of O'Molloy Street, Tullamore, is alleged to have robbed Craig Coyne of €500 at the Spar on Patrick Street, Tullamore, on November 1, 2023. The article that reported the case is dated February 16, 2024, and gives no year for the incident, so 2023 is inferred from that date. A book of evidence was served on Gonoude at Tullamore District Court before Judge Andrew Cody, and he was charged with robbery. He was sent forward for trial at the next sitting of Tullamore Circuit Court on March 9, and he is on bail.
