A shovel was used to break open the door of an apartment building in Cork by a man who also broke into a pub and left a trail of blood in an office after smashing a window to burgle the premises.

Two of these crimes were committed by 35-year-old Jonathan O’Sullivan, of 30 Fairfield Avenue, Farranree, Cork, in April this year and another in September last year and now he has been given a 10-month jail term for three counts of burglary and one of heroin possession.
