Allan Rajmoolie pleaded guilty to possessing a restricted firearm with readily accessible ammunition, possessing a firearm while prohibited, and breaching recognizance.

The Crown sought a global sentence of 4 to 4.5 years, while the defence sought 3.5 years.

The court imposed a global sentence of 4 years (48 months), less 25 months for time served, resulting in a further 23 months to be served.

The court denied additional credit for harsh conditions of incarceration (Duncan credit), finding no adverse effect on the offender.

Ancillary orders for DNA sample and a lifetime firearm prohibition were also imposed.

Mario Inacio, 39, was declared a dangerous offender and sentenced to an indeterminate period of incarceration following a Crown application under ss. 753(1)(a)(i) and (ii) of the Criminal Code.

The court found that Inacio met the criteria for dangerous offender designation, having committed serious personal injury offences including robbery, extortion, unlawful confinement, assault with a weapon, threatening death, and robbery with an imitation firearm.

The decision was based on a pattern of repetitive and persistent aggressive behaviour, a high likelihood of future violent reoffending, and the intractability of his conduct, despite some recent positive institutional behaviour.

The court concluded that no lesser measure would adequately protect the public.
