Coey has been working for Flogas and failed to return items issued in the company\u2019s starter pack\n<\/p>\n
Jamie Coey (21), of Old Court Drive, Bray, pleaded guilty at Bray District Court to five offences. The charges include failing to provide Garda\u00ed with a phone access code, possession of stolen property, failure to appear, and theft.<\/p>\n
Sergeant Mick Canavan told the court that on March 19, 2025, Garda\u00ed received a complaint from a manager at FloGas. The manager reported that a former employee, Mr Coey, had been working under an alias as a door-to-door salesman.<\/p>\n
Mr Coey was using the name \u201cAlex\u201d and had failed to return items issued to him in the company\u2019s starter pack. These included a Samsung tablet valued at \u20ac400, a jacket worth \u20ac100, and an ID badge.<\/p>\n
On March 27, 2024, Garda\u00ed searched the home of Mr Coey\u2019s parents, where they discovered a Samsung tablet, an ID card in the name of \u201cAlex\u201d, a black wallet belonging to a man named Samu Huurre, and multiple credit cards.<\/p>\n
The court was told that the wallet contained several cards, including a Santander chip-and-pin card and an American Express card belonging to a man named D.S. Smith.<\/p>\n
The court was informed that Coey has 30 previous convictions, including 14 for theft, and had previously received a four-month prison sentence which was suspended for 18 months.<\/p>\n
Mr Coey had been in custody for a little over a month before the hearing.<\/p>\n
Solicitor for Mr Coey, Brendan Maloney, told the court that his client comes from a hardworking family and has been hampered throughout his life by cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, lifelong condition that affects the lungs.<\/p>\n
Counsel for the defence said that Coey had a \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d regarding the terms of his employment with FloGas. Mr Coey told the court he had recently been ordered to engage with the Probation Service.<\/p>\n
Judge David Kennedy directed that a probation report be prepared. An independent surety was paid by Coey\u2019s father due to the defendant\u2019s bench warrant history. Coey was released on continuing bail until December 11, 2025.<\/p>\n
