According to the news article, he was the getaway driver for a burglary of a rugby club. Apparently no money was found to steal; the only thing stolen was some chocolate (hey even burglars need a snack on a frustrating day).
What isn’t said here is whether he has to serve house arrest with an ankle monitor or something like that for the remainder of his sentence. I’d think that would be the case.
It seems (as in the US) that it's not profitable for the state to jail criminals,.....so let's raise revenue from those with something to take,...you know the rest.
