‘I didn’t realise how bald I was gone’

A man captured on CCTV trying to buy a latte with a forged €20 note accepted the bald truth of the crime when it was presented to him.

Keith Butler, aged 38, formerly of St Joseph’s Park, Mayfield, Cork, went to two garages in Cork on the same date and tried to use forged €20 notes in both premises.

He fled the scenes when shop assistants realised what was going on but he was clearly visible on CCTV from both premises.
