Man caught with stolen bouncy castle after he inflated it outside his home

A 39-year-old man from Derry in Northern Ireland who bought a large stolen bouncy castle worth £5,000 was caught by police after he inflated it outside his own home.

Patrick Coyle, of Cashel Hill, was charged with handling stolen property in the Republic of Ireland.



The court heard that police received a report of a stolen bouncy castle worth £5,000 that had been stolen in Co Donegal.

Police then found the bouncy castle ‘fully inflated’ outside Coyle’s home with electric cables and a pump running from his house to power it. Coyle was convicted of handling stolen goods. He was sentenced to six months imprisonment suspended for two years.
