Shoplifter claims he didn’t know perfume was dropped into hood

A man who was seen on CCTV having a 100ml bottle of Ralph Lauren perfume dropped into his hood by another man denied having anything to do with shoplifting and said he did not know the fragrance was in his hood.

Garda Linda O’Keeffe asked 26-year-old Colm Folan why he was wearing the big hooded coat in the first place when it was a dry mild day and he was otherwise wearing a pair of shorts.
