Father and son sentenced to time already served for spate of burglaries
Summary
In a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court hearing, 33‑year‑old Marcin Jakubiec and his 55‑year‑old father Boguslaw Jakubiec pleaded guilty to burglaries committed between 24 June 2011 and 22 April 2013. Marcin admitted carrying out a dozen break‑ins, while Boguslaw, acting as driver, admitted involvement in three. The pair broke into empty homes mid‑morning, stealing jewellery, laptops, cameras and bikes, then sold the goods at the Ilac Centre on Moore Street. Judge Mary Ellen Ring sentenced Marcin to five years and Boguslaw to three years, both back‑dated to May 2013, and suspended the remaining terms. Both were ordered to work with the Probation Service for 12 months. The court noted their charitable work while in custody and the minimal recovery of stolen items. The defendants' backgrounds, including prior convictions and drug use, were also discussed by their counsel.
