Derry Magistrate's Court
A man who stole a bike from outside Derry Train Station later rode the stolen bike to attend Strand Road PSNI Station the local Magistrate's Court heard today.
Liam Murray (19) of Duddy's Court in Derry admitted the theft of the bike on April 18 last year.
The court heard that a woman had locked her bike outside the station and when she returned the bike was gone.
Police viewed CCTV and identified Murray as the thief.
Some time later Murray had to attend the Strand Road PSNI Station and not only did he ride the stolen bike there he was wearing the same attire as he had been on the day of the theft.
The stolen bike was returned to the owner who identified it as hers.
Defence counsel Kieran Roddy said it was 'a mean spirited offence' and added that a pre-sentence report prepared in the case made 'dismal reading'.
District Judge Barney McElholm said that it was 'a nasty offence' that had deprived the owner of her bike.
He jailed Murray for six months.
