60 days in prison for woman described in court as a 'kleptomaniac'

A woman who was described as a kleptomaniac in court by her solicitor agreed with her family that she would not give Christmas presents last month - in case she was tempted to steal them.
The woman from Cork City was appearing before Bandon District Court on charges that she stole €15 worth of cosmetics from Kevin O'Leary's Centra in the town on August 26 last and then, on leaving the shop, stole a gas cylinder worth €61.55 which she placed in her car before driving away.
