Daylight robber on e-scooter jailed
Summary
Anthony Kinlan (47) has been jailed for six years after carrying out two daylight robberies using an e-scooter and a realistic imitation handgun. He robbed a Paddy Power bookmakers in Dublin 3 in February 2024, stealing €875 in cash, and later robbed a CeX video exchange store on Liffey Street in July 2024, stealing €593 in cash. Gardai found €12,075 worth of stolen goods in his home in March 2025. Kinlan pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery, one count of possession of an imitation firearm, and one count of possessing stolen property. He has 39 previous convictions and a history of drug addiction. His defence highlighted that he had been drug-free for 10 years before relapsing and that he has since detoxed while in custody. Judge Orla Crowe noted the terror caused to customers and staff during the robberies and imposed a seven-and-a-half-year sentence, suspending the final 18 months on conditions.
