Where an offender is charged separately for each break, enter and steal offence at a single location, the multiplicity of victims and criminal acts is a feature of the multiplicity of offences and does not constitute an aggravating factor under s 21A(2)(m). Prior convictions listed as an aggravating factor under s 21A(2)(d) are subject to the common law qualification in s 21A(4) and do not aggravate the offence itself. The Court of Criminal Appeal may confirm sentences despite finding sentencing error where the sentences are not excessive.
