    CAAR14/1987

    Given the violent, well-planned, armed robbery in domestic premises, youth (except extreme youth of a 15‑year‑old) did not amount to an exceptional circumstance; immediate terms of imprisonment should have been imposed and, on review with customary reductions for guilty pleas and review procedure, the appropriate sentences were 4 years for LI Chi‑ko and LEE Chi‑yuen and 3 years for CHUNG Sai‑kwong, while the detention sentence for LAM Kam‑yuen (aged about 15) was not disturbed.
