Two offenders pleaded guilty to multiple offences arising from a home invasion on December 23, 2017, at 500 Dawes Road in Toronto.
The offenders, armed with knives, forced their way into an apartment, held victims at knifepoint, and a firearm was discharged, narrowly missing one victim.
The Crown and defence jointly recommended sentences, with disputes regarding credit for pre-sentence custody and the application of Gladue principles.
The court sentenced the first offender to three years consecutive to his existing sentence, with a reduction from the joint submission to account for his inability to access indigenous programming while awaiting sentence.
The second offender was sentenced to 36 months with enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody due to institutional conditions.
