Burglar 'wore high-visibility jacket'

A heroin addict who wore a high-visibility jacket while he carried out hotel burglaries after stealing room keys from a cleaning lady’s trolley has been given a four-year suspended sentence today.

David Stafford (aged 31), of Saint Maignenn’s Terrace, Old Kilmainham Road, Kilmainham told gardaí he wore the jacket to "blend in" because he noticed there was a lot of builders in the general area.
