Stole toys from Mr Price store in Dundalk

A man with 28 previous convictions who admitted stealing €10 worth of toys from the Rampart Road Mr. Price store, was given a one month suspended sentence at Dundalk district court last week.

Judge Eirinn McKiernan heard that Patrick Kelly (36) with an address at Cooley Park, Dundalk was given a suspended sentence in June for a separate theft matter which post-dated the offence before the court which was committed on May 20th 2020.

The defence solicitor described the father of two as a hapless individual who didn't enjoy good health at that stage.

The one month sentence imposed by Judge McKiernan was suspended on Mr. Kelly entering a bond to be of good behaviour for 12 months.
