Man jailed for violent robbery which saw victim ordered into car boot at gunpoint

A man was jailed on Thursday for a violent robbery which saw the victim ordered into the boot of his own car at gunpoint.

Paul Robert Beggs, from James Street in Ballymena, Co Antrim was handed an eight years sentence - with half to be served on licence - for the “very sinister” incident as well as another violent robbery on the same night in 2019.

The East Belfast incident saw the victim accosted by Beggs and another man before he was driven around in his car while the pair rifled through his wallet before being taken to derelict building and tied up.
