A district court judge told two women who admitted to stealing just over €1,000 worth of property from a pharmacy in Ballincollig that “there is absolutely no excuse to steal that value of goods from a pharmacy”.

34-year-old Victoria Sava of Maryville Cottages, Old Youghal Road, Cork, already had two convictions for theft when she pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing the property.
