Man accused of robbing three post offices 'to hook up with woman he met online'

A man is accused of three separate post office robberies which he allegedly committed to fund a trip to the States to hook up with a woman he met online.

Det Garda Motherway said that Tindley was making plans to travel to the States again prior to his arrest and that his fiancée had no idea of his alleged wrongdoing. He is charged with the robbery and attempted robbery of South Douglas Road Post Office on November 11th and the 18th and with robbery at Ballintemple Post Office on November 16.

He said that the state would allege that in the first raid on the South Douglas Road on November 11th, Tindley entered the post-office wearing a hat and mask and grabbed a male customer in his seventies putting a knife to his throat. He allegedly demanded money and left the premises with over €2,300.

He said that State would allege that they found a knife with a four inch blade in the car and that the distinctive looking knife matched a weapon which the thief could be seen brandishing on CCTV footage. They also found distinctive clothing in the vehicle which allegedly matches that worn by the man who carried out all three robberies.
