A prosecutor told the court that the matter was a ‘breach of trust’. When asked by District Judge Francis Rafferty why it was being regarded as a breach of trust, the prosecutor responded by revealing that the defendant was a delivery driver for the firm Amazon and had stolen the packages.

The case was adjourned until July 5 for a pre-sentence report.
