Mother pleads with judge to 'lock up' out of control teen
The mother of an “out of control” 17-year-old burglar, who ransacked operating theatres in the Mater Hospital in Dublin and stole vital medical equipment and potentially lethal drugs, has pleaded with a judge to “lock up” her son.
The teen had pleaded guilty at the Dublin Children’s Court to trespassing, burglary, criminal damage and Public Order Act charges committed over the last two years. Earlier this month he had been remanded on bail pending sentence and for a probation report to be obtained.
