Perfume thief who confessed after seeing himself on RTÉ’s Crimecall is jailed

At Ennis District Court, Judge Patrick Durcan jailed Ioan Zomant (pictured) of Castlewood Gardens, Carlow, for four months, saying that he posed a danger to every single pharmacy in County Clare and beyond.

A perfume thief confessed to his crime to Gardai after seeing himself appear on television committing the offence on RTÉ’s Crimecall, a court has heard.

The €198 theft at Rochford’s Pharmacy in Ennis of two perfume bottles in February 2019 went unsolved for one year before CCTV footage of the theft by father of six, Ioan Zomant (aged 55), was broadcast on Crimecall on February 26 this year.
