Security at the city’s hospitals and other premises was thrown into question yesterday after Galway District Court heard how a man had simply wandered into areas such as the maternity ward, private offices, and locker rooms over a period of six weeks and rifled through bags.
The 31-year-old Polish national who stole property valued at €3,281 from premises such as UHG, Merlin Park, NUIG, and Boston Scientific, was sentenced to a total of 16 months after he pleaded guilty to 28 counts of theft.
Inspector Mick Coppinger told the court that between January 6, 2009, and February 20, 2009, Dominik Moskwa of no fixed abode had entered the main areas and locker rooms of hospitals, NUIG, and Boston Scientific, and stole wallets and bags. Property valued at €600 was recovered.
