A man has been jailed for 9 months for stealing three coffee makers on three separate dates from the same department store in Monaghan Town.
Raivis Rozentals (24) carried out the thefts at Fleming's Department Store in Monaghan between January 12th and 17th, 2022.
The three DeLonghi manufactured appliances were valued at €399 each.
The accused, of Riverside, Monaghan, appeared at a sitting of Monaghan District Court last month where he pleaded guilty to each of the thefts before Judge Raymond Finnegan.
Judge Finnegan told the court the accused had previously entered guilty pleas in May of 2022 to allow for compensation to be paid.
The money has never been paid back and the judge remarked how Mr Rozentals appeared to "like his coffee" in view of how he chose to return to the same location and steal the exact same coffee maker on three alternate dates.
The 24-year-old appeared again at Monaghan District Court yesterday and had no money as way of compensation for the thefts and he was jailed for a total of 9 months after 3 sentences of 3 months to run consecutive was handed down.
