Hundreds of euros of stolen scented candles found by Newbridge Gardaí yesterday

Two brothers are now in custody following allegations that they  were found in possession yesterday,  of up to €600 worth of Yankee candles from a Newbridge store.

Today at Naas District Court, Garda Conor Sheehan and Garda Lorna Malee, outlined how at 5.17pm, at Kill South, a car was stopped, and the two brothers were detained, in relation to charges for handling stolen property.

It is understood that the stolen property was from HomeStore & More in Newbridge.

Garda Conor Sheehan outlined how there was €600 worth of Yankee candles in the car, each valued at €35 each.

Objections were made to the  brothers, from Tallaght,  getting bail, on the history of bench-warrants.

The court heard evidence from Defence Tony Hanahoe and Conal Boyce, that both brothers have had a history of drug abuse, and are now receiving treatment.

Both men have children, the court heard.

Judge Desmond Zaidan ordered that the brothers are remanded in custody until October 2.
