A man and a woman who stayed the night at a vacant building raised the alarm on their trespass when they found themselves unable to leave and they smashed a window — to get out.

Sergeant John Kelleher said that at 8.23am on that morning a window was broken at Grand Parade in Cork from inside the building.
