Men charged with possessing stolen high powered vehicles sent forward for trial
Summary
TWO men, Tomas Tarasevicius (29) and Paulius Taracvius (33), were charged with possession of stolen high‑powered vehicles and related offences. Tomas faces four counts of handling stolen property, including an Audi A5, a Nissan Quashqui and two BMWs seized at McAuley's Yard in Balbriggan on 20 September 2013, plus possession of stolen cars, two petrol tanks and criminal damage to an Audi. Paulius is charged with possession of a stolen Audi car at the same location and date. Both appeared before Balbriggan District Court, where a State solicitor confirmed the Books of Evidence were ready and served. They were remanded on continuing bail to appear before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 7 March, with a judge warning them to provide witness details within 14 days. The defendants' solicitor applied for a second counsel due to the case's complexity, a matter for the trial judge. The case is now set for trial by judge and jury.
