The defendant appealed against a sentence of three years detention for aggravated vehicle taking and a substantial number of thefts.
Held: Though the sentence was near the maximum, it was a serious offence, and little discount was available. There was conduct deliberately designed to injure police officers, and committed whilst on bail. The sentence was not excessive.
