Panicked Cork worker broke into boss' office to retrieve confiscated drug, court hears

Judge Olann Kelleher imposed a six-month suspended jail term and a community service order of 240 hours at Cork District Court.

A young man panicked when his boss confiscated a drug that fell from his pocket in work and he later broke into the office to retrieve it.

The young man’s solicitor, Joseph Cuddigan, said the accused had paid heavily for his crime even before he faced sentencing today.
