The offender was convicted of three counts of robbery and three counts of using an imitation firearm during a robbery.
The Crown sought to prove a real firearm was used, but the court found it was an imitation firearm.
The court considered aggravating factors, including the vulnerability of the victims and the impact on them, and mitigating factors, including the offender's youth, lack of criminal record, and impending deportation.
The court sentenced the offender to a global term of five years imprisonment, less 28 months credit for pretrial custody.
