A SHANNON woman has appeared in court on charges of deception and possession of a stolen cheque.
Amy Tracey (20) with an address at 65 Inis Eagla, Shannon, appeared at Ennis District Court last Wednesday. It is alleged that at AIB Shannon on December 15 (2010) Ms Tracy did dishonestly by deception induce an AIB bank official to lodge a cheque to her account with intent of making a gain.
It is also alleged that on the same date at Rineanna, Shannon, Ms Tracey did without lawful excuse possess a stolen Bank of Ireland cheque worth € 6966.
Detective Paul Coleman told the court that he arrested the accused in Ennis on April 10 (2012). He said Ms Harty was conveyed to Ennis Garda Station where she was cautioned and charged. Detective Coleman said the accused made no reply to either charge after caution.
Inspector Tom Kennedy said the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has directed summary disposal of the matter on a plea of guilty only. After hearing a summary of the alleged facts, Judge Patrick Durcan refused jurisdiction. He remanded the accused on continuing bail to appear at Ennis District Court on May 16 for DPP’s consent and service of Book of Evidence.
