Dog walker abused trust by stealing from woman

A dog walker was allowed access to a woman’s house to collect her dog but he made his way upstairs and stole €80 and $600 from a bedroom drawer.

Denis Gough, aged 43, of 2 Church Rd, Ballinacurra, Midleton, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to the theft arising out of the incident.

Daithí Ó Donnabháin, defending, said Gough had paid the full amount of compensation to the injured party.
