Cases
latest first- John Dunne, 35, sentenced to eight years for aggravated burglary in Ballymun Aggravated burglary · Co. Dublin
John Dunne, a 35-year-old man, broke into a family home in Ballymun, Dublin, at about 4.30am on 5 September 2024, armed with a lump hammer, and struck the homeowner on the cheek before the man disarmed him and forced him outside. The home was occupied by the homeowner, his wife, and their eight-year-old daughter. Over the same period, Dunne also broke into nine vehicles by smashing windows and stole a box from an outbuilding. He was arrested on Balbutcher Lane at 6.25am and later pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to aggravated burglary, assault causing harm, trespass, and criminal damage. In March 2026, Judge Orla Crowe sentenced him to eight years, reducing a headline sentence of 11 years for his guilty plea and difficult background, with the final nine months suspended on strict conditions.
