1. I will now deal with the appeals against sentence. In sentencing, the Magistrate noted robbery was a serious offence and must attract a deterrent sentence. He considered robberies of this type were prevalent in the area. He noted that no weapon was used and force was minimal. The fear of being subjected to violence and being pushed around was sufficient to make the victim hand over the money.
