Addict jailed for trailing woman to steal pension

An 81-year-old woman was followed from a post office and robbed of her pension.

Yesterday, the young heroin addict who snatched money from her hand was jailed for three years.

Detective Garda Cormac Crotty testified at Cork Circuit Criminal Court that Stephen O’Sullivan, 24, could be seen outside Cork’s General Post Office when CCTV was examined afterwards.
