A sentence of 2½ years' imprisonment (reduced from a starting point of 3 years) for aggravated burglary of commercial premises involving theft of property valued at $330 is within the permissible range where the offender has an extensive criminal history dating from childhood, enters a late guilty plea without remorse, and is already serving a custodial sentence. The starting point of 2½ years identified in Wroblewski for commercial burglary at the lower end of seriousness is not a fixed benchmark and may be exceeded where the offender's antecedents demonstrate a continuing attitude of disobedience of the law.
