• Callum Kearney jailed for three years for BMW dealership swindles in Cork and Wicklow Theft · Co. Cork

  Callum Kearney, 23, targeted car dealerships in Cork and Wicklow in November 2023 to acquire BMWs valued at approximately €164,000, using Photoshopped images mimicking AIB bank transfer confirmations to show payment. He took a BMW for a test drive, failed to return it, and put fake registration plates on the car, which was later located in Mullingar, Co Westmeath. Kearney pleaded guilty at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court to theft and attempted motor theft. In March 2025, he was sentenced to three years with 21 months suspended, backdated to his November remand, while already serving a 27-month sentence for deception offences.
