Man gets suspended jail term after burgling ship

A man was sentenced to a suspended 18-month prison term yesterday for burgling a ship. Rory Moore, who lives at a flat at St Joseph’s Villas, Blackrock Road, Cork, was sentenced for boarding the Celtic Voyager shop at Albert Quay, Cork, and stealing laptops and cameras.

Garda Kieran Maher said on November 28 2012, Moore boarded the vessel at Albert Quay and went to a number of rooms and stole electrical items including cameras and laptops worth €4,100.

Only €1,000 worth of the items were recovered and the remainder were sold by Moore for a fraction of their actual value to buy drugs.
