The ordinary sentencing range for a single offence of aggravated armed robbery in Western Australia is 4 to 6 years' imprisonment (equivalent to 6 to 9 years prior to the 31 August 2003 amendments to the Sentencing Act). A sentence at the top of the range is appropriate where the offence is a serious example of its kind, there are no significant mitigating factors, and there are aggravating features such as prior convictions for similar offences and commission while on parole.
