Jail for Credit Union robber who threatened staff with hatchet and knife
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: However, Judge Nolan said the fact Collins carried out the crime due to addiction and debt was no defence. "He made an ill judged decision to rob in order to pay money back and a custodial sentence is unavoidable," he said. He sentenced him to two and a half years with the final two years suspended.
