The offender pleaded guilty to four counts of armed robbery of convenience stores and two counts of failing to comply with probation.
The offender, who suffers from schizophrenia and substance use disorders, committed the robberies while armed with a knife or a snow shovel.
The court found that the offender's mental illness did not mitigate his moral culpability as there was no causal link to the offences.
The court imposed a global sentence of 40 months' imprisonment, reduced to 5 months after applying credit for pre-sentence custody and institutional lockdowns.
