Ex-garda faces up to 10 years in jail
David Foran, aged 29, responded to a burglary at the elderly woman’s home and found she had hidden nearly €2,000 in her bedroom. He later returned to steal the cash. He also collected money from his garda colleagues to organise events which he then used to pay his own debts.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard Foran was nearly half a million euro in debt because of a house he had built with his new wife. He has now been dismissed from the gardaí and his marriage has ended.
