Man stole nearly €8k from his own bank account

A man who stole almost €8,000 from his own bank account after it held funds that did not belong to him will be sentenced in February.

Conor McKee, aged 26, withdrew cash in three different locations because he was worried he would be caught. He said he had not used his account in six months and then noticed that a large amount of cash had been lodged into it.

He acknowledged in interview that he knew the money was not his and wondered where it had come from.
