Two teenage sisters, aged 16 and 17, have been charged with stealing €500 from a 23-year-old man with Down's syndrome in Dublin city centre. The pair appeared at the Dublin Children's Court on Monday after being arrested by Garda officers last week.
Two teenage sisters arrested during a Garda investigation into thefts from vulnerable adults in Dublin city centre have been charged with stealing €500 from a young man.
They were each charged with theft of €500 from Joshua Spurling, 23, at Aston Quay, Dublin 2, on January 21. The student with Down's syndrome who is from Greystones, Co Wicklow, had been on a college trip to the city on that date.The girls, accompanied to the hearing by their mother and using an address in Co Dublin, have yet to enter pleas.
The defence counsel, Doireann McDonagh, argued that the signing-on term was unnecessary as the girls were juveniles and not at risk of failing to appear in court.
