The applicant sought renewed leave to appeal his sentence of 54 months for handling stolen goods. The cases involved the potential ‘ringing’ of cars, and offences committed whilst on bail. He had pleaded guilty, and argued that the sentence was too long in view of that plea and family circumstances. The sentences individually were not criticised. The defendant was a professional crook, taking professional risks. Leave refused.
