Jail for man who hijacked pizza delivery car

Summary

Kyle Foley, 25, of Claddagh Green, Ballyfermot, Dublin, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for hijacking a pizza delivery man's car on 9 May 2015. He pleaded guilty to unlawful seizure of a vehicle, three counts of criminal damage, driving without insurance and driving without a licence. The incident involved Foley and two other men approaching the delivery vehicle, opening the doors, stealing a wallet, and then Foley striking the delivery man with a bottle before driving off. The car was abandoned in Monksfield Heights, and the delivery man was later found to have left the jurisdiction. DNA evidence linked Foley to a beer bottle left in the car, and his keys were recovered in a garden. He had prior convictions for theft, drugs, public order and trespass, and was serving a four‑month sentence for obstruction.
