Woman jailed for her role in the robbery of two 'unfortunate' New Zealand tourists
Briefly

Kia O'Connor, a 34-year-old with 67 previous convictions, was sentenced to two and a half years for participating in the robbery of two tourists in Dublin. On June 8, 2024, O'Connor and her co-accused Joseph Boyle approached the tourists, asking for money. After they declined, Boyle threatened one of the victims with a knife, enabling O'Connor to steal valuable items from the victims' bag. Despite her involvement, O'Connor claimed no knife was present, but both suspects were arrested shortly after, with most stolen items recovered.
O'Connor's previous criminal record includes 67 convictions, reflecting a history of theft, road traffic offenses, and drug-related crimes.
During the robbery, she took an iPhone, Kindle, and wallet from a female tourist while her accomplice threatened the victims with a knife.
