Chronic addict lifted over €10k in goods from city shops
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Eddie McEvoy (34) described the spate of thefts carried out within a three-month period as opportunistic and on soft targets. "He's a man who tends to go through open doors," said defence barrister Keith Spencer BL, at a sentence hearing at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. Today Judge Melanie Greally imposed a three-year sentence with the final 12 months suspended.
