Lidl employee convicted of stealing over €2,000

A WOMAN working for years at a supermarket in Cork has been convicted of carrying out a series of thefts amounting to over €2,000 in a three-week period.

Katarzyna Wlodciczyk, 30, denied the 21 counts of theft during a trial at Cork District Court yesterday, despite having made admissions to a detective garda investigating the case.

Judge Leo Malone said the defendant received advice from her solicitor and then made admissions to Detective Garda Pat Barry which she then denied in court. The judge said: “I have no doubt she is guilty of the offences.”
