Dublin family's former babysitter charged over alleged burglary with gun at their home

Sara Campbell, a 40-year-old woman from Dublin, is facing charges of aggravated burglary after allegedly breaking into a family's home with a gun and a knife. During the incident, she reportedly assaulted the homeowner with a handgun, causing blunt force head injuries. The attack occurred on Friday morning when Campbell, whom the victim recognized as a former babysitter, entered the residence. The victim's wife described the confrontation, noting that Campbell initially appeared friendly but quickly turned violent, with assistance from another individual. The suspects allegedly took €1,000 in cash, the victim's brother's car, and demanded €10,000 in a text message. Bail was denied by Dublin District Court due to concerns over witness interference and the severity of the crime. Campbell, who has not yet entered a plea, remains in custody pending further court appearances.
