Addict stole from busker after asking him for kiss

A teenage busker was approached by a man in Cork city centre in the middle of the day and asked for a kiss by the man who then stole all of the money the busker had earned.

Insp Brian O’Donovan said at Cork District Court that it was a nasty kind of crime.

Judge Olann Kelleher agreed and said, “this was a despicable crime, to take money from a busker who was playing his guitar in Cork City”.
