A MOTORIST was fined €200 after he admitted making a false report to gardai that his car had been stolen when, in fact, he had crashed it.
Jason Hayes, aged 42, who has an address at Killala Gardens, Knocknaheeny, Cork City pleaded guilty to giving false information to gardai that an offence had been committed.
Inspector Sandra Heelan told Kilmallock Court that on May 17, 2018, the defendant contacted gardai and reported the unauthorised taking of his vehicle.
“It was not stolen. It was crashed (at an unknown location in the Bruff garda district). He made the report to disguise the crash,” explained Insp Heelan at a court hearing before Christmas.
