Teen acted as decoy in burglary

Sentencing of a 16-year-old girl, who preyed on two elderly women by acting as a “decoy” while their homes were being burgled, has been adjourned pending the outcome of a separate prosecution.

The teenage girl had pleaded guilty at the Children’s Court to taking part in the burglary of the 80-year-old woman’s home, at Finglas Place, Finglas, Dublin, on September 9 last year.
