Woman stole over €40k from smartphone firm to repay other thefts

A woman who stole tens of thousands of euro from two previous employers was in court today for stealing over €40,000 from a third employer partly in an effort to repay the first two.

Detective Garda Cormac Ryan said Emma Fehily’s latest crimes consisted of stealing 67 expensive smartphones (one worth about €1,100) by ordering them without her employer’s knowledge and then selling them through Donedeal and other websites. The company was at a loss of over €40,000 as a result of her crimes, Det. Garda Ryan said.
