Man who broke into house was ‘led astray’

A young Waterford man who was led astray by a woman he met when out drinking in Cork City broke into a house at The Lough when she told him it was her home.

However, he woke some time later on a couch downstairs with the young woman to find the gardaí asking them what they were doing.

Inspector Gary McPolin said the owner of the house at The Lough woke up in the early hours of July 11 to hear banging on his door downstairs. He remained upstairs and phoned the gardaí.
