    Given the statutory mandatory sentencing band under s15(4) APJ (minimum 2 years, maximum 10 years), the defendant's guilty plea warranted consideration but was outweighed by the seriousness of breaching a Police Supervision Order, lack of acceptable excuse, aggressive conduct on arrest and the public interest in deterrence; a custodial sentence of 30 months was within law and proportionate.
