[2012] EWCA Crim 2562

A sentence of three years' detention was appropriate for a young offender who had pleaded guilty to involvement in a professional conspiracy to burgle. The sentencing judge had been entitled to better advice from counsel, who had wrongly told him that he was restricted to imposing a two-year detention and training order.
