Motorists in court for leaving petrol stations without paying for fuel

Two motorists involved in driving off from different garages without paying for petrol were in court yesterday where one got a one-year driving ban and the other was jailed for seven months.

The two, separate cases were dealt with by Judge Leo Malone at Cork District Court.

The first related to Cormac O’Sullivan, 24, of Clonfadda, Macroom, Co Cork. Judge Malone fined him €300 and banned him from driving for 12 months for driving away without paying for €69 worth of petrol at Maxol filling station on Skehard Road, Cork, on August 23, 2013.
