Father-of-two caught with equipment for retrieving ATM cards
Summary
A 34‑year‑old university student, Deividas Sevcenko, was caught by Gardaí while walking with a friend and found to be in possession of two metal implements used for retrieving bank cards from ATMs. He pleaded guilty to one count of possessing equipment with the intention of using it in a theft that was planned for Howth Road, Raheny, on 1 March of the previous year. Sevcenko, who lives in Holywell Dene, Swords, and is a married father of two, has five prior convictions for road traffic offences and failing to appear in court. He was highly intoxicated at the time of the stop, and a doctor recommended delaying his interview by four hours because of his drunkenness. He has expressed remorse and is willing to comply with any court‑ordered conditions to remain in the community with his wife and children. The case is adjourned for probation and community service reports, with sentencing scheduled for 18 May.
