The suggestion that Wayne Bradley carried out a botched cash van raid because he has special needs is an insult to special needs children, a judge has said.
Judge Tony Hunt made the remarks while hearing Bradley’s mitigation plea. He is due to be sentenced for the raid next month with his brother Alan.
Wayne Bradley (33), of Ratoath Road, Finglas, Dublin, and Alan Bradley (38) of Churchfields, Kentstown, Co Meath, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to conspiring to steal cash from Chubb Ireland on November 2nd, 2007, at Tesco, Celbridge, Co Kildare.
Judge Hunt said the 10-year maximum penalty was inadequate and that he would be forced to impose a sentence he thought was “less than appropriate”.
