Women loaded car boot and returned to steal more

Security staff at a toy store saw two women loading toys into the boot of a car and then returning to the shop to steal more stuff.

One of the women involved in this crime at Smyth’s on Kinsale Road, Cork — where almost €400 worth of toys was taken — was also caught stealing a trolley loaded with over €1,100 from one supermarket and a trolley laden with €500 worth of items from another.

Judge Con O’Leary said this young woman was stealing these items despite having received the assistance of the probation service in dealing with her background difficulties.
