  • Supreme Court dismisses appeal in Louth robbery case Robbery · Co. Louth

    A plan was devised to lure and rob a Co Mayo man by sending emails from a dormant account purporting to sell machinery. On 2 December 2017, Edward McAndrew was lured to Omeath, Co Louth, where he was beaten with iron bars, had money demanded from him, and was robbed at a remote location. William Twomey, 60, was convicted in the Special Criminal Court of robbery, assault causing harm, and demanding with menaces, while co-accused Tony Finglas, 53, pleaded guilty to demanding with menaces and was sentenced to four years and nine months in December 2020.
