Salesman stole phones to sell online

A PHONE salesman with a glowing reference from his former employer ended up stealing phones in his new job and selling them online.

Ray Browne, aged 23, of Ballymore Eustace, Co Kildare, yesterday pleaded guilty at Cork District Court to the theft of four phones, but denied stealing two others.

He was employed in October 2010 at the O2 store on Daunt Square, Cork.
