Held: These were professionally planned commercial armed robberies. Concurrent sentences of imprisonment for public protection substituted: ‘The appellant in this case was involved in seven professionally planned armed robberies and one attempted robbery which only failed because of intervention by the police. They were all committed for high monetary gain. In our judgment the minimum period specified was entirely appropriate and not in any way excessive.’
