Hair salon burglar returned to inquire about CCTV

A man who burgled a hair salon called back and admitted he was the culprit, but he also inquired about CCTV at the premises.

Inspector Mary King said yesterday at Cork District Court that Christopher Ruby “called back and apologised to the owner which alarmed her to say the least”.

Judge Con O’Leary said his recollection of the case was that Ruby, aged 23, also enquired about the injured party’s CCTV.
