Drug addicts subjected teen to machete ordeal, court hears

Two Artane drug addicts who subjected a teenager to a terrifying ordeal because they mistakenly believed there might be drugs in his house have been given four-year sentences at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Gerard Keogh (aged 28) and Brian Treacy (aged 29) wore balaclavas and wielded weapons as they broke into the 18-year-old's family home and tried to force their lone victim into the family car they were stealing.
