Nightline courier admits to stealing mobile phones

A Nightline delivery service courier admitted stealing three mobile phones that were being posted to customers.

Jim Foley, aged 43, of 54 Dominic St, Cork, pleaded guilty to stealing the phones in the course of his duty and he has since lost his job.

Judge Olann Kelleher said at Cork District Court yesterday: “Stealing from his employer in this case is the same as from the postal service. It is a position of trust.”
