Cases
latest first- McDermott and Keane jailed for aggravated burglary in Longford Aggravated burglary · Co. Longford
During the early hours of 3 June 2022, three people entered an apartment at 25 Weaver's Hall, Market Square, Longford, posing as gardaí, one brandishing a seven-inch kitchen knife, and stole cash, a phone and jewellery from Brazilian man Luis De Silva and Chinese woman Kit de Long. John Kelly (34) posed as a garda with a bogus search warrant, while Donna McDermott (37) and Barry Keane (39) were also present at the scene. Kelly pleaded guilty and was sentenced in February 2023 to five years consecutive to a four-year term for a separate Dublin robbery. McDermott pleaded guilty at a previous sitting but was at large despite a bench warrant; Keane pleaded guilty in June 2023. In October 2023, McDermott and Keane were each sentenced to five years in prison, with the final 18 months suspended.
