The offender pleaded guilty to break and enter and theft of a motor vehicle after acting as the getaway driver during a violent home invasion targeting a luxury vehicle.
The Crown sought a 4-year penitentiary sentence, while the defence requested a conditional sentence.
The court weighed the serious aggravating factors of the organized home invasion against the offender's youth, lack of criminal record, early guilty plea, and tragic background involving the loss of his brother.
The court imposed a conditional sentence of 2 years less a day, including one year of house arrest with GPS monitoring, followed by two years of probation.
