Jail for burglar who took part in €20k e-bike raid
Summary
Daniel Kearney (37) was jailed for two years for his role in a burglary where seven e-bikes worth over €20,000 were stolen from a Dublin store. He pleaded guilty to taking two of the bikes valued at €7,300. The burglary caused significant damage to the shop, and only one of the stolen bikes was later recovered. The business owner described the impact on his professional and personal life. Kearney has 13 previous convictions and is homeless with a history of drug addiction. He is now drug-free and has a job offer upon release. Judge Orla Crowe set a headline sentence of four years but reduced it to two years and eight months, suspending the final eight months on conditions.
