Gun thief to serve more time behind bars
Bradley John Madore, 34, of no fixed address, had hoped for community-based sentence
A Minto man who stole firearms from a Fredericton garage two years ago and who perpetrated a series of petty crimes since then was denied the chance to serve his sentence in the community.
Bradley John Madore, 34, formerly of Bridge Street in Minto, was back before Judge Karen Lee in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday for the completion of his sentencing hearing.
The offender appeared remotely from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre.
At the first part of his sentencing hearing last month, the Crown recommended more time in provincial jail for a series of offences committed over the course of a year and a half.
Defence lawyer Wanda Severns had recommended time already served for some of his offences and a conditional sentence, to be served in the community, for the remainder, so Madore could focus on getting help for his substance-abuse issue and reconnecting with his infant son.
