Man to be sentenced for stealing €8k from his own bank account
Summary
Conor McKee, 26, will be sentenced in February for stealing €7,939.35 from his own Bank of Ireland account. He withdrew the cash in three separate locations on 24 April 2014 after discovering a large sum had been deposited into his account, a deposit made via a forged cheque that he had no involvement with. McKee admitted the money was not his and spent it on food, drink and trips with his partner. He pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where Judge Melanie Greally noted the theft was not pre‑meditated but still dishonest, causing a significant loss to the bank. McKee was remanded on continuing bail until 23 February and the Probation Service was ordered to assess him for community service. He has no further contact with Gardaí since the arrest.
