Counsel told Collins, of Fortlawn Drive, Blanchardstown, Dublin, that he was wrong in claiming he had been accused of stealing the watch in Duty-Free as there had been no such theft. The theft, as shown on CCTV, had taken place from a basket that had passed through a security check. Collins said that when police officers considered he fitted the description they had been given of the thief he had been asked to stand up and show his identification.
