Fines and compensation totalling €1,300 must be paid by a man convicted of burglary from a charity shop in Kilkenny City.
Mariusz Lau, with an address of Aldi, Waterford Road, Kilkenny, was charged following a theft from the Oxfam charity shop on High Street, Kilkenny, on the night of October 11-12, 2024. He pleaded guilty.
The court heard that Mr Lau was a past employee of the shop. He used a key to enter and take a number of items.
Solicitor Ed Hughes said his client is now a manager with a local supermarket. He had no explanation why he went into the Oxfam shop.
Mr Lau took some low value items, the solicitor said.
