Judge to sentence man for 'totally unbelievable' theft 'unsuitable for film set'

A man who stole €180,000 worth of jewellery from a house, after helping a woman who was trying to deactivate the house alarm, will be sentenced next month.

“The story as it unfolded, if considered by film producers would have been dismissed as totally unbelievable and not suitable for something on a TV or film set,” Fergal Foley BL, prosecuting told Judge Carmel Stewart in opening the case before her.
