Convictions based on confessions and complainant evidence were unsafe where material inconsistencies (time, floor, item description) existed; similarity of confessions on the fourth charge was satisfactorily explained by police having learned particulars from the first appellant and did not invalidate the second appellant's statement; appellate court will quash the third charge conviction and reduce excessive concurrent sentences from five to four years for the upheld counts.
