Two accused pleaded guilty to breaking and entering a residence and stealing firearms, and trafficking in those firearms.
The Crown sought eight years imprisonment for each.
The defence sought sentences ranging from one to six years.
The court imposed six years imprisonment on the joint charges (two years for break and enter, four years consecutive for trafficking), with thirteen months pre-trial custody credited on a one-for-one basis.
For Faria, an additional one-month consecutive sentence was imposed for breach of probation.
The court rejected a constitutional challenge to the mandatory minimum sentence under s. 99(2)(a) of the Criminal Code, finding the appropriate sentence exceeded three years in any event.
DNA orders and ten-year firearm prohibition orders were imposed.
