Crown seeks adult sentence
A youth who pled guilty in October to charges in relation to a bank robbery in Drayton last year may be sentenced as an adult.
The Wellington County Major Crime Unit led a multi-jurisdictional investigation into the robbery at the Royal Bank in Drayton on March 2, 2015, notes a report from the Wellington County Police Services Board presented at the Nov. 24 Wellington County council meeting.
The investigation led to the arrest in December 2015 of an 18-year-old male, who was a youth at the time of the robbery.
The accused pled guilty in October to the Drayton bank robbery, plus three bank robberies in Toronto, one in Tavistock and one in St. Clements.
The Crown is seeking an adult sentence. The sentencing is currently scheduled for Dec. 22, 2016.
