A man facing charges in four separate files of aggravated burglary and theft has been sentenced by the Suva High Court.
High Court Judge Justice Daniel Goundar gave Lui a head sentence of 3-years imprisonment for the three files of aggravated burglary and theft and attempted aggravated burglary.
The four offenses happened between the 2nd to the 31st of December last year.
Lui broke into a shop at Chadwick Road, Nakasi in the first case but fled the scene when Police arrived.
In the second case, he broke into the home of a 49‑year-old man when he was away visiting his relatives in Sigatoka and stole an Adidas brand canvas valued at $150.00.
In another case, the man broke into a canteen at Davuilevu Housing using a pinch bar and stole cigarettes and groceries to a total value of $927.
He also broke into a house in Muanikoso and stole a Sony brand television valued at $300.00.
In his sentence, Justice Goundar said people are entitled to feel safe and secure in their homes and any form of criminal intrusion of privacy and security of people in their homes must be dealt with punishment to denounce the conduct and deter others.
Justice Goundar has sentenced Lui to 6-years imprisonment saying that it reflects his overall criminality for a spate of domestic burglary offences.
This will be served concurrently with the head sentence of four years.
He has fixed a non‑parole period of 4-years.
