Sentence for burglary, calculator offences
PA Auckland Robert James Gilder, aged 30, a Christchurch furniture machinist, who admitted receiving 40 electronic calculators worth $2350 and committing two burglary offences, was sentenced to six months in jail by Judge Wallace in the District Court at Auckland yesterday. His counsel (Mr B. S. Paki) said Gilder was a first 'offender.
He said Gilder had shifted to Christchurch to get away from the principal offender in the burglaries. Gilder’s responsibility amounted to $6OOO worth of stolen property, said Mr Paki. The Judge said the total amount said to have been taken was considerably more than $lOO,OOO, but she accepted that Gilder took much the lesser part in the burglaries.
