    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC550/2003

    Given the planned nature of the robbery, presence and use of knives, physical violence (tying, gagging, blindfolding), extraction of PINs and the applicants' significant criminal records, the sentences (6 years for D1 and 6.5 years for D2) were at the high end but within the permissible range; D1 received a full one-third discount for early plea while D2 received a reduced discount for a late plea; applications dismissed.
