A MAN was convicted of stealing a nurse's bike from the hospital during last week's Tullamore Court sitting.
Terry Jenkins, 62 Cloncollig Tullamore pleaded guilty to committing the offence on October 27 last at Tullamore hospital.
Sgt James O'Sullivan told the court the defendant was seen stealing the pedal bike and cycling away.
“The nurse's helmet was on the bike as well,” said the sergeant. “The bike was worth €200 and it wasn't recovered.”
He said Mr Jenkins had 67 previous convictions including a section 6 public order offence (for which he served three months imprisonment) and section 15 of the theft act (for which he served ten months in Mountjoy).
