Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:08:18 11/03/09 Tue When Derek Hutch, 24, a known criminal in the Dublin area, accidentally tried to sell a stolen motorcycle to its real owner, Gardai (police) set up a sting operation that led to a prison sentence. Michael Heffernan met Hutch to view the Honda VFR750. Quickly realising it was his, though modified, he withdrew and called Gardai. A Gardai officer arranged a viewing with Hutch and secretly took the bike’s chassis number. This was then run through the vehicle registration database and showed it to be the bike owned by Mr Heffernan. Gardai arrested Hutch, who pleaded guilty to possessing the stolen bike, has 24 previous convictions, 11 of which are currently before the courts. In sentencing Hutch, Judge Delahunt also ordered that the bike be restored to Mr Heffernan. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
