Gardaí raiding a house looking for over €10,000 worth of property snatched in a burglary found a small amount of it and also caught the culprit with cannabis for sale or supply.

A raider waved a stick around aggressively in a betting office in Cork City before prodding the woman working in the premises and getting away with almost €1,000 in cash.

A bread van thief rose up against his sentencing judge and told him he was appealing a previous sentence for another crime and that it would bring the judge’s career to an end.
