A man who stole an iPhone and a wallet from a garda vehicle while gardaí were carrying out an arrest has been ordered to pay any outstanding money owed from the incident to St Christopher’s services.
Patrick McNally, 89 Spring Lawns, Longford, appeared before Judge Seamus Hughes at last week’s sitting of Longford District Court.
Sgt Gerry Newton explained that, while gardaí were effecting an arrest of two unrelated suspects in the Spring Lawn estate on October 19, 2021, a wallet containing an iPhone 8 and a number of personal items belonging to a garda was taken from the front of the garda van.
