Case No. 9847Co. Limerick

Limerick man gets seized phones and clothing returned by court

In 2024 gardaí took a tablet phone, a second phone, jean trousers and underwear from Junior Fredrick, a man with a home address on Henry Street, Limerick city. The matter was adjourned in March 2026 at the State's request. At Limerick District Court on 23 April 2026, Judge Patricia Harney first refused the Police Property Application made by Mr Fredrick's solicitor, Sarah Ryan, then granted it and refused the State's request for a second adjournment. The latest development is that the items are to be returned to Mr Fredrick, and the article does not say whether he has been charged with any offence.
