• Man sentenced to five years for ATM thefts in Dublin Theft · Co. Dublin

  Levers Zinca, a 31-year-old Romanian man, was sentenced at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 7 October 2026 to five years' imprisonment, with the final six months suspended for two years, for seven counts of ATM theft totalling €1,940. Between January and December 2025, he targeted seven vulnerable victims including an 80-year-old woman, an 80-year-old nun, a wheelchair-bound man, and a visually impaired man, using leaflets to cover ATM screens while withdrawing cash. He was arrested in January 2026, had bail refused at Dublin District Court on 26 January, and pleaded guilty to all seven counts. The judge noted his 18 previous Irish convictions and backdated the sentence to January 2026.

Reports describe him as a prolific thief who has targeted victims in several European countries. Judge Michele Finan applied Section 1.1 of the Probation Act, so he avoided a conviction and was ordered to pay €200 to Temple Street Hospital.
