The District Judge erred in taking a 4-year starting point for this simple, non-violent commercial burglary. Correct approach: one such burglary warrants 2 years, the two additional offences taken into consideration increase the effective sentence to 3 years, less 9 months for the plea of guilty and mitigation, resulting in an adjusted sentence of 2 years 3 months; leave to appeal is granted and sentence reduced accordingly.
