Firearms thief seeks to avoid more jail time
Judge will render her decision on sentence for Bradley John Madore, 34, next month
A judge noted Tuesday that a homeless addict who burgled a home and stole firearms saw his life go off the rails in the COVID-19 pandemic, and while society has mostly recovered and moved on, he was left behind.
Bradley John Madore, 34, of no fixed address but formerly of Bridge Street in Minto, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by video conference from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre on Tuesday for his sentencing hearing.
Crown prosecutor Daniel Standing detailed the many crimes to which Madore had admitted previously, and it took some time for the court to hear the facts on all of them.
The most serious and significant of the offences, he said, occurred May 10, 2023, when Fredericton police officers responded to a report of a break-in at a home and garage on St. Mary’s Street.
