Court
A 35-year-old man was last week told burglars were able to operate because of people like him.
Hemi George Koroheke, meat worker, appeared before Judge Emma Smith in Invercargill District Court for receiving jewellery, valued at $1500, knowing it was stolen and receiving wetsuits, an iPod, sunglasses, a sports bag, gift certificates, a game console and camera valued at $2500 knowing they were stolen in August and September.
He was sentenced to five months' community detention and ordered to pay $1500 reparation.
Judge Smith said Koroheke had sold the stolen property. Receiving charges were considered serious because it was people like Koroheke who enabled burglars to operate, she said.
