Man admits stealing lifejacket from flight

A judge has told a company director who stole a lifejac-ket from an Aer Lingus flight that jailing him was “foremost in my mind”.

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Judge Patrick Durcan told Rohit Sharma that by his criminality he potentially placed someone else in great danger.

Insp Tom Kennedy described Mr Sharma’s theft of the lifejacket from the Aer Lingus London-Shannon flight on Tuesday “as a most unusual crime”.
