‘Organised role’ in theft of inherited money from post

A senior Garda told a court that there was an organised element behind the theft of a woman’s inheritance in the post over two years ago.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Det Garda Paul Coleman of Shannon Garda Station said that in Dec 2010, a postman’s post bag was robbed. It contained a cheque for €6,966 made out to Ennis woman Eida Durack Reynolds.

Det Coleman said that the money was Ms Durack Reynolds’ net share from her mother’s inheritance.
