Man stole €27k of Apple goods

A former PC World worker who stole €27,000 worth of Apple products from his workplace and sold it to another store in a “stupid” attempt to make money has been ordered to perform community service.

Eoin Giles, aged 21, of Thornville Ave, Kilbarrack, Dublin, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to one count of stealing a quantity of Macbook laptops, Apple watches, and iPads from the Blanchardstown shopping centre store on April 15, 2016.

Judge Karen O’Connor noted the offence represented a great breach of trust, given that Giles was an employee of PC World.
