Man (21) "high on ecstasy" when he tried to rob pizza delivery

Summary

Daniel Duffy, aged 21, and Stephen Dargle, aged 19, from Annamoe Terrace, Cabra, Dublin, pleaded guilty to an attempted robbery of a pizza delivery man at Drumalee Grove on 10 October 2017. Dargle approached the delivery man and threatened him with a knife, saying he would stab him if he did not hand over the delivery. The victim fled, but Dargle chased him, pulling the knife out. The victim, a foreign national, screamed and knocked on a nearby flat's door. Dargle tried again to seize the delivery, but Duffy blocked him. The victim threw a bottle of a mineral drink at Dargle and screamed again. Neighbours shouted at Dargle to leave. Gardaí identified the men after speaking to a woman whose mobile phone they had used to order the pizza. Both men admitted they were high on ecstasy tablets at the time; Duffy also said he had snorted cocaine.
