Man pleads guilty in Longford Circuit Court to possession of stolen vehicles

A man has pleaded guilty to possession of stolen vehicles and parts at a sitting of Longford Circuit Court last week.

Amadeusz Dziubinski, with an address at 59 Kilnavara Heights, Cavan, appeared before Judge Francis Comerford last Friday on foot of a bench warrant executed by Detective Garda Paul McDermott.

The court heard that Mr Dziubinski was on bail for various counts but breached his bail conditions and left the jurisdiction in January 2019 for pschiatric treatment in Poland.

A bench warrant was issued and he is currently in custody on Cavan matters and a Dublin matter after being returned to the country by way of a European arrest warrant.

He has been in custody since January 19, 2022.

Mr Dziubinski’s case was initially set for trial, with six weeks to be set down for it.

However, on Friday last week, when arraigned on three counts, he pleaded guilty on a full facts basis.

It is alleged that on March 14, 2016, at Ferriskill, Granard, Mr Dziubinski was in possession of a Ford Transit minibus and a Ford Transit campervan, both stolen and both with false registration numbers.

It is further alleged that on April 19, 2016, at Teemore Industrial Estate in Granard, Mr Dziubinski was in possession of a Ford Transit engin, snowing it was stolen or being reckless as to whether it was stolen.

He pleaded guilty on all three counts and was remanded in custody to May 17, when he will be sentenced by Judge Comerford.
