The last of four people who tried to rob a Northland dairy whose owner was struck on the head with a tyre iron has also been sentenced to nine months' home detention.
Rihari Thompson, 18, and three others tried to rob the Kingsway Dairy in Hikurangi of cash and cigarettes in July last year but fled after the shop owner chased them.
Jackson Ruwhiu, who struck dairy owner Hemant Sakar Lal over the head with a tyre iron, was sentenced by the Whangarei District Court in November last year to nine months' home detention.
Tamati Hughes also received nine months' home detention in February and getaway driver Eruera Wharerau was last month sentenced by the Matariki Court in Kaikohe to five months' home detention.
Judge Greg Davis said he had imposed a sentence of home detention, which was consistent with sentences handed down to others.
