Smyths Toystore in Letterkenny.
A young woman used a young child to steal a buggy from a toystore.
Mary Byrne put the child into the new buggy at Smyth's Toystore in Letterkenny and walked out without paying.
Ms Byrne, 23, appeared at Letterkenny District Court charged with a range of thefts.
The court heard how Byrne walked into Smyth's Toystore in Letterkenny with two children, removed the tags form the buggy and put one of the children into the buggy.
She then pushed the child out without paying for the buggy which was priced at €62.
Byrne, formerly of Tallaght in Dublin but now living at Blue Ceders, Ballybofey, was also charged with a range of thefts from the Xtravision store in Letterkenny.
These thefts, which occurred between August 27th and 28th last, included a range of headphones worth more than €1,400 as well as DVDs.
Gardai became aware of the thefts when Ms Byrne was caught on CCTV trying to trade in the headphones and DVDs as a second hand electronic store.
Garda Inspector Michael Harrison revealed "The DVDs and other equipment were still in their wrappers when she tried to trade them in. It just makes no sense."
Solicitor Patsy Gallagher said his client admitted her wrong and was willing to do whatever the courts decided.
Judge Paul Kelly adjourned the case until February for Probation report.
