Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal against the severity of a six-year sentence, with the final 12 months suspended, imposed for multiple offences including burglary, possession of stolen property, and attempted burglary, on the grounds that there was no error in the sentencing judge's application of the totality principle, or in the proportionality of the sentence, and the sentence was not disproportionate given the appellant's extensive criminal history and the impact on the victims.
