The defendant was sentenced for fraud over $5,000 committed against his employer over a three-year period.
The defendant, who was in charge of purchasing supplies, used company money to purchase compressor oil from a non-arm's length company, creating fraudulent invoices for non-existent supplies.
The defendant had paid $60,000 in full restitution and entered a guilty plea.
Despite initial joint submission for an 18-month conditional sentence, the Crown expressed concerns after reviewing the Pre-Sentence Report, particularly regarding the defendant's failure to disclose the conviction to his current employer and his lack of genuine remorse.
The court imposed an 18-month conditional sentence with strict conditions including electronic supervision for the first nine months, house arrest, and subsequent probation with restrictions on handling money.
