The getaway car, a Volkswagen Passat, was stolen from a property in Clogherhead, Co Louth, on 22 and 23 January 2013.

Brendan Treanor, 34, of Dundalk, Co Louth, and James Flynn, 32, of South Armagh, were charged with the robbery and with conspiring with Aaron Brady and others to steal car keys in creeper burglaries between September 2012 and January 2013. After a 55-day trial at the Special Criminal Court, the court acquitted Treanor of all charges and acquitted Flynn of the robbery on 11 September 2023, but convicted Flynn of conspiring with Brady to steal the Volkswagen Passat getaway car.
