Addict complimented garda on 'good work'

A drug addict who complimented a female garda on the force's 'good work' when he served her and others while pretending to be an Esso shop assistant has been jailed for five years.

Wayne Mulligan, aged 25, of Dolphin House, Rialto had earlier locked a 21-year-old female assistant in a storeroom and donned Esso staff uniform to fool the customers who didn't realise he was robbing the premises.
