Dublin gang stole jewellery from five Cork homes

Five houses were burgled within a mile of UCC by a Dublin gang who were caught after a high-speed chase and yesterday they were given five- and six-year sentences.

Judge Sean Ó Donnabháin said Thomas Wall, aged 22, William Wall, aged 30, and James Cash, aged 27, had shown meticulous planning in the burglaries on December 1, 2012.

The three men had broken into the five houses in the Glasheen, College Rd, and Wilton areas of Cork City when the owners had gone to Mass or shopping or visiting, he noted.
