A South Cariboo man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to three of the five charges laid against him.
32-year old Derek James Swindell was sentenced to an additional 2 days in jail after pleading guilty to charges of disguising his face with intent to commit an indictable offence, break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, and breach of a release order.
A charge of Robbery was stayed.
Swindell also spent 200 days in custody and was given credit for 300 days.
100 Mile House RCMP responded to a report of break-in in progress at a residence on Canim Lake Road South back in August of 2024.
Police say an occupant awoke to the incident and was allegedly assaulted at around 2:20 a.m.
A suspect then fled the scene and another occupant in the home called the RCMP.
Police were able to determine the location of the suspect at another residence in the area and an arrest was made.
A search warrant was executed on the residence and RCMP say several firearms and other property that were believed to have been taken were recovered.
