First rules of theft – don’t leave any evidence and avoid the police.
It would appear no-one explained this to Olegs Krjukovskis, 24, a Latvian living in Limerick in Ireland. First off, when he stole a motorbike, he rode through a Gardae (police) checkpoint – almost knocking over an officer.
Compounding stupidity with more stupidity, he abandoned the bike and ran off… leaving behind a bag containing his passport, a CV and a cheque for €200.
When Krjukovskis went to Roxboro Garda Station to claim his property, he was promptly arrested and confessed to theft of a motorbike, dangerous driving and failing to stop for gardai.
Sentence is to be announced.
