- High Court
The High Court held the sentence of two years and six months was not manifestly excessive because the starting point of two years three months was justified by premeditation, repeated entries, high value thefts, damage and the appellant's role as ring-leader and prior convictions; the uplift for prior convictions was not double counting and disparities with co-offenders were explicable by differing involvement and records, so the appeal was dismissed.
