‘Stoned’ burglar stole bank documents

A ‘stoned’ burglar got into the garage beside a house in Sunday’s Well in Cork in the middle of the night and stole bank documents from a car.

Owen Murphy, aged 26, of Ballinvorrostig, Carrigaline, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to the crime at Cork District Court yesterday.

Inspector Michael McGuire said Murphy had 22 previous convictions, half of them for traffic matters and the rest for burglaries and thefts.
