Stolen lamb escalates to allegedly threat to kill
Moorefield Aldi
A 50-year old shoplifter who allegedly threatened to kill the security guard who challenged him, will have to return to court in March to learn his fate.
Michael Connolly of Grove Court, Eyre Street, Newbridge was in Naas District Court this week (3 July) charged with both the theft and the more serious making a threat to kill or cause serious harm at the Aldi store in Moorefield on 10 August last.
It is alleged he had taken €64 worth of lamb products from the shop. When approached attempting to leave “he threatened to stab the security guard”, said to Sergeant Dave Hanrahan.
Accepting it was early days in the investigation, Judge Desmond Zaidan told defending barrister Donnacha Craddock that his client would be remanded on continuing bail for now until his next appearance on 19 March for directions from the DPP.
No further details in this case have been discussed at this stage.
