• Longford man's suspended sentence to be reviewed after theft conviction Theft · Co. Longford

  Grant Rennie (27), of Clonbalt Woods, Longford, pleaded guilty before Judge Bernadette Owens at Longford District Court to a string of thefts from shops in Longford town and Ballymahon, dated from December 2, 2024 to February 21, 2025, which he committed to fund a drug addiction. On March 7, 2025 the judge imposed a six-month sentence for trespass to commit theft and a further five months for one theft charge, to run consecutively, so he is to serve over a year in prison. The judge also ordered a probation report on a triggered suspended sentence from July 2024 for theft of goods worth €730 from DV8 Longford. The latest development came on April 20, 2025, when Rennie, who is in custody, appeared again on the suspended sentence, was remanded in Castlerea Prison, and is due to appear by videolink on May 6 for the probation report.
