Andrew Burke pleaded guilty to four robberies (three banks, one restaurant).
The court considered aggravating factors, including his extensive criminal record (58 convictions, 17 robberies), repeated re-offending shortly after release, and the psychological harm to victims.
Mitigating factors included his guilty plea, expressed remorse (though noted as repetitive), participation in programs, and family support.
The court found rehabilitation prospects limited, emphasizing specific deterrence, denunciation, and public protection.
A sentence of 10 years imprisonment was imposed, less pre-sentence custody.
