Man charged with multiple Wicklow burglaries kept in custody over DPP delay
The Wicklow PeopleA Dublin man accused of a string of burglaries in County Wicklow, and a robbery dating back more than a decade, has been further remanded in custody while the court awaits directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Jimmy Cash (36), with an address at 7 Daletree Place, Ballycullen, Dublin 24 appeared at Bray District Court via video link.
Mr Cash is charged in connection with a series of burglaries in the Ashford and Clonpadden areas of Wicklow on September 24, 2025, as well as with an alleged offence relating to a robbery dating back to 2013.
The court heard Mr Cash faces five charges under the Theft and Fraud Offences Act and, if convicted, could face a custodial sentence of up to 14 years for each offence.
The court was told back in September that it was alleged that on March 13, 2013, Mr Cash entered a premises and stole €7,200 in cash. He was later identified after a blood sample was recovered from the scene.
It was alleged that at 12.10pm on September 24 this year, Mr Cash entered a property at Clonpadden, Arklow, Co. Wicklow, and stole a gun safe containing a shotgun.
Allegedly later the same day, at around 3.40pm, three houses in Annagolan, Ashford, Co. Wicklow, were burgled, with items including €700 in cash and a new chainsaw reported stolen.
The court was told that the case directions have not yet been issued by the DPP.
Mr Cash was denied bail back in September, but he consented to a four-week remand.
Judge David Kennedy told the court that he will mark the case pre-entry against the state if directions are not available after Mr Cash’s four-week remand.
Judge Kennedy remanded Mr Cash in custody until November 25, 2025 to appear again at Bray District Court via video link.
