Anthony Cooney, a 38-year-old man of no fixed abode, was sentenced to nine and a half years' imprisonment at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for two violent car hijackings in Dublin city centre on 8 January 2026. He allegedly held a knife to the neck of a 70-year-old woman and a metal fork to the necks of a married couple in their 40s, demanding cash and threatening to kill them before crashing the stolen car into a commercial van. Cooney was arrested at the scene, charged with 19 offences including unlawful seizure, threats to kill, and eight counts of dangerous driving, and remanded in custody after bail was denied at Dublin District Court. The judge also disqualified him from driving for eight years, with other sentences running concurrently.
