A sentence of 6 years imprisonment (non-parole period 3½ years) for aggravated break, enter and steal under s 112(2) of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) was upheld where the offence involved resort to violence against occupants, planned entry, and theft of property worth over $10,000, notwithstanding the sentencing judge's failure to follow the stepped approach for standard non-parole period offences. The Court reiterated that sentencing statistics for s 112(2) offences may reflect a range that is too low.
