Thief tried to sell stolen phone to victim’s brother

A man robbed a taxi driver’s phone and tried to sell it to another taxi driver the next day — but, of all the drivers in Cork, he tried to sell it to the victim’s brother.

While there are several hundred taxi drivers in Cork, Keith Aherne had the misfortune of picking the car driven by the injured party’s brother in his vain attempt to sell his ill-gotten gain.

The injured party’s brother had a camera inside his car on which he managed to make a video recording, with sound, of Aherne trying to sell him the phone.
