Man stole expensive Nike runners from Kildare Village

A man stole a pair of Nike runners worth €79 from Kildare Village in August 2012, Naas District Court heard.

The 29-year-old had put the footwear into his girlfriends handbag and walked out of the Nike store, the court heard.

The defendant, who pleaded guilty to the offence, said he couldn't explain his actions.

Judge Desmond Zaidan chose to apply the Probation Act which means no conviction was recorded against him.
