The appellant pleaded guilty to break, enter and theft, and attempted break and enter, committed while on parole.
He was sentenced to five years and three years concurrent imprisonment.
He appealed the sentences, arguing they were beyond the appropriate range.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the sentences were not unfit given the appellant's significant criminal record for similar offences, previous penitentiary sentences, and the fact that he broke into an occupied residential dwelling.
