A young man threw stolen bottles of aftershave into a field as he was pursued by store detectives and yesterday he was jailed for four months. “Charlie Casey was pursued by store security and following a foot chase Mr Casey discarded the items, namely an Armani gift set and Gucci aftershave, in a nearby field before making good his escape.”The stolen property was retrieved. Judge Olann Kelleher noted that the accused got a community service order before for a similar offence last year. Michael Quinlan, solicitor, said the young man was struggling and in a very bad place at the moment following the tragic death of his brother four months ago. Mr Quinlan said there were other difficulties in the defendant’s background and that he was suffering from depression.
