The Case
Where non-custodial sentences were imposed on young offenders who had pleaded guilty to robbery and handling stolen goods, and where they had committed the offences as part of a gang that had targeted users of public transport, the sentences were probably unduly lenient. However, in the circumstances of the instant case and having regard to the offenders' personal circumstances since sentence, the court would not interfere with the sentences imposed.
