Pram in one hand and road cutter in the other

A detective garda couldn’t believe it when he saw a man rolling a pram down the street with one hand and pushing a heavy industrial road cutting machine with the other.

“I would say he was caught red-handed with stolen property,” Detective Garda Padraig Harrington said at Cork District Court.

Kevin Coade denied the charge and said he was pushing the stroller with an infant in it when he saw the Husqvarna machine and decided to return it to the building site at the courthouse on Anglesea Street, Cork.
