Prison sentences for two men involved in robbery from Railway Street premises
Two men have been sentenced at Craigavon Crown Court for their involvement in a robbery in Lisburn.
They appeared before Craigavon Crown Court on Thursday June 25, 2026 for sentencing after being charged for their involvement in a robbery at a business in the Railway Street area of Lisburn on Tuesday December 17, 2024.
David Anthony Barry (33), whose address was given as no fixed abode in Lisburn, was sentenced to 56-months imprisonment for robbery, 10-months imprisonment for resisting police, six months for possession of a class C controlled substance, and one month for breach of discharge.
The sentences are to be served concurrently and time on remand will be applied.
Ryan Joseph Lundy (32), whose address was given as Graham Gardens in Lisburn, received a 37-month custodial sentence for aiding and abetting robbery and 10-months for resisting police. Both sentences are to be served concurrently.
Speaking following the sentencing, Detective Inspector Lewis said: “David Barry claimed to be armed with a knife when he entered the off licence shortly before 10pm.
"He took cash from the till and stole an item from the shelves before making off from the scene with Lundy, who was waiting outside the premises.
“Officers attended and Barry was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including robbery and resisting police, while Lundy was arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting robbery and resisting police.
"The sentencing offers reassurance that we will work tirelessly to bring offenders before the courts so that the victims receive the justice they deserve.
"I would ask anyone who believes they are a victim of crime to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.”
