Mac the knife

You're supposed to hold down the hijack button to enter a taxi... well in grand theft auto at least!

Robert McNamara of St. Patrick’s Park, Carrick on Shannon was arrested in Leitrim in connection with the hijacking of a taxi on the 8th of March 2010. Mac took a taxi from Carrick on Shannon to Roscommon and then insisted the taxi driver take him to Limerick. After the driver refused Mac then produced a knife (allegedly). A couple of hours later, in the wee hours of the morning they arrived in Limerick. After he stole the driver's car keys and mobile phone and a small amount of cash he made his getaway.  He was picked up by a female soon aterwards.


Mac the knife has a bit of a history...including producing a knife from his nether regions while answering some questions and filling out forms in Roxboro some years back (2002) (the ejit actually stabbed himself! but not before sticking his fist through a window first!)

Be careful out there. There are things that go bump in the night. Actually, there are things that go 'Give me your wallet or I'll kill you' in the night!
