A young person was convicted of theft over $5,000, forcible confinement, use of an imitation firearm during robbery, and two counts of failure to comply with a recognizance, all arising from a home invasion on July 26, 2010.
The Crown sought a serious violent offence designation and 24 months custody and supervision followed by three years probation.
The defence argued against the SVO designation and sought a non-custodial sentence or deferred custody.
The court found the offences constituted a serious violent offence, imposed a custodial sentence of 24 months custody and supervision (16 months secure, 8 months open) followed by 24 months probation, and imposed various conditions including no contact with victims, community service, and a weapons prohibition.
