Computer expert pays back €3,560 stolen on forged credit card details

A computer expert who stole thousands of euro worth of property by buying it on the internet with forged credit card details yesterday repaid the full amount of compensation outstanding in his case — €3,560.

Cormac Haydon, 22, who had been living in a flat at 27 St Patrick’s Hill, Cork, and now living in Carlow was before Cork District Court where he handed over the money through his solicitor, Emma Leahy.

Ms Leahy referred Judge Malone to the probation report on the accused which she described as very positive.
