Burglar remanded after targeting neighbour’s home

A YOUNG man arrested for burgling his neighbour’s house in Ballincollig, Co Cork, on Tuesday evening was refused bail yesterday and remanded in custody for a week.

Eric Kidney of 4 Leesdale Drive, Ballincollig, was arrested and charged with burgling the house at 8 Leesdale.

Detective Garda Rory McGrath objected to bail being granted to Kidney on the basis of the seriousness of the alleged offence and the view that, if granted bail, he would commit further serious offences.
