A Quesnel man, sentenced in connection with a break-in at a local business, will not be spending time in jail.
47-year old Earl Roper received a three month conditional sentence and 12 months probation after pleading guilty to one count of Theft over $5,000.
Several other charges, including Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm and Careless Storage of a Firearm, were stayed.
