Burglars ordered to leave country

Two men who pleaded guilty to a burglary spree and to possession of stolen property have had to produce a one-way plane ticket home to Lithuania to secure their release from prison.

Kestutis Bagdonas and Mindaugus Ginderens, had been held on remand in Cork Prison since February 21 last after gardaí tracked them to an apartment in Skibbereen in West Cork, where they also recovered a quantity of stolen property.

The case was recently heard before a sitting of Skibbereen District Court in which some details of how the burglaries were outlined.
