Man caged for stealing show canaries from shed

A CORK man accused of stealing three show-canaries had his wings clipped — to the extent he has been put behind bars himself.

Garda Aidan Forrest arrested Ian Heaphy of 91, Baker’s Road, Gurranabraher, Cork, and charged him with entering a shed at the rear of a house in the area and committing a theft.

Inspector Michael McGuire said it was alleged that 21-year-old Heaphy had stolen three canaries on March 26.
