Suspended sentence for pair who stole camper van
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: At their sentence hearing in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today, Judge Karen O'Connor gave both men suspended sentences but urged them to learn from their mistakes and move on, or else be incarcerated in the future. She sentenced Joyce to two-and-a-half years in prison but suspended it fully, and gave Watters a two-year suspended sentence for this and a separate offence involving the use of a stolen car.; The case was adjourned for mention on Friday October 13 in order to decide where Joyce's offer of €500 will go.
