The court adopted a global starting point for participation in an organised criminal group of six years nine months to reflect planning, organisation and use of firearms; increased the starting point by six months for a prior serious aggravated robbery conviction to seven years three months; reduced that by one year two months for s27 report rehabilitation and by 13 months (approx. 15%) for a late guilty plea, resulting in an effective sentence of five years' imprisonment to be served concurrently with two-year terms on other charges.
