Garda probe into mean crime

Gardaí have launched an investigation into what they call 'a very mean crime', in which an elderly woman was robbed of €50 after she was surrounded by three females in broad daylight on the main street in Roscrea.
The victim, who is in her late 70s, had the money taken from her pocket after
being intimidated by the three women. The incident took place on one of Roscrea's busiest streets at 11am on Wednesday last.
Meanwhile gardaí in Nenagh have confirmed that they are investigating an incident in which a man in his 50s was badly beaten at Burke's Corner around 4pm on October 10th.
