A 40-year-old woman accused of committing a burglary by climbing in through a bedroom window of an apartment and stealing jewellery and cash will have her case dealt with at district court level.

Glenda Fray, of Hegarty Square, Blarney Street, Cork, had her case adjourned by Judge Mary Dorgan until April 13 at Cork District Court so a copy of prosecution statements could be sent to the defence solicitor Eddie Burke.

Sergeant John Kelleher alleged the burglary it occurred on June 21, 2025, at Leeside Apartments, Grattan Street, Cork, when the homeowners left at around 2pm, locking the front door but leaving two bedroom windows open and slightly ajar. The windows face a locked internal carpark.

“When they returned home at 6pm, they found a jewellery box on the window sill of one of the bedrooms disturbed.

“A sum of €380 in cash was missing from a box kept in a cabinet in one of the bedrooms.

“Garda Eimear Reilly obtained CCTV footage. The injured party alleged a number of necklaces and one gold ring were stolen — she was unable to put a monetary value on these items,” Sgt Kelleher said.

Judge Mary Dorgan accepted jurisdiction.

Eddie Burke, solicitor, asked for a copy of the prosecution evidence to be sent to the defence.
