  A 36-year-old Hungarian man, Istvan Konyari, allegedly stole a white DAF rigid lorry from a fuel supplier in the Bandon area on the night of 7 November 2023. The next morning he failed to stop when directed by Gardaí and rammed two Garda cars and several parked vehicles during a 15km pursuit that ended at Forge Hill in Togher, Cork city, where an Armed Support Unit member fired a shot through the windscreen to halt the truck. Konyari was arrested at the scene and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. He pleaded guilty to the ramming offences and admitted stealing the truck, and was sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on 4 July 2025 to three and a half years in prison, with the final six months suspended.
