Razor blades hidden in foil bag

Packing a foil-line bag with €166 worth of razor blades in a city supermarket resulted in a man being jailed for four months yesterday.

Stephen O’Sullivan, of 36 Courtown Drive, Knocknaheeny, Cork, pleaded guilty to the offence which was committed on September 25, 2015, at Tesco Paul St shopping centre.

O’Sullivan was caught stealing the razor blades and he was also using a foil-lined bag in connection with the theft. The bag was adapted in an effort to prevent the alarm going off in the store.
