Gardaí found John Doyle (38), who has 111 previous convictions, trying to hide
A Tallaght man arrested following the looting of a Centra during Storm Emma last year threw trollies in the path of gardaí as they pursued him through the shop, a court has heard.
Doyle, of Russell Drive, Russell Square, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to trespassing at Centra, Kiltalown, Tallaght on March 2nd, 2018 with the intention of committing theft.Det Garda David Jennings told Eoghan Cole BL, prosecuting, that gardaí received a call shortly before 8pm during the “atrocious” weather conditions of Storm Emma to say that the security door of a Centra shop had been breached with a mechanical saw by a group of people.
Gardaí entered the shop and Doyle took off towards the back of the premises, throwing trollies to obstruct them. He was found crouched down trying to hide in the store room. Two other men were found in that area of the shop, one of whom had a sledgehammer. A co-accused, David Berney , of Suncroft Park, Tallaght, has already received an 18 month suspended sentence for his role in the incident.
