Probation proposed for Irving holdup
15-year-old Bilijk First Nation boy rammed stolen Mercedes into front of gas station Oct. 19
The prosecution and defence told a judge Wednesday a teenager who tried to hold up a downtown business had already served enough time in custody, and that a year of probation was an appropriate sentence.
The 15-year-old boy from Bilijk (Kingsclear) First Nation appeared in Fredericton youth court Wednesday by video from the New Brunswick Youth Centre for sentencing for numerous charges.
He and a 14-year-old boy, also from Bilijk, were arrested at the Irving gas station and Circle K Convenience store on King Street in downtown Fredericton the morning of Oct. 19 after a stolen car crashed into the entrance of the business.
