A young Northlander has convinced the Court of Appeal to slash his prison term for the aggravated robbery of a retail giant.
Kaipara Anderson, 20, was sentenced in the Whangārei District Court in January 2018 to five years and 10 months for his role in the night-time robbery of The Warehouse in Dargaville in which four employees were bound with electric cords.
The second offender, Daniel Cameron, was jailed for five years and two months.
Cameron was armed with a cut-down .22 calibre rifle while Anderson had a screwdriver and a pair of scissors during the robbery in May 2017.
Both left with more than $27,000 in cheques and 300 items of jewellery valued at more than $242,000.
