A man who held up a bank in Kelowna and fled with more than 40-thousand-dollars in cash has been sentenced to four years in prison.
Alan Stuart Metcalfe was sentenced in August after pleading guilty to one count of robbery, and the decision was released online this week.
The ruling from Justice Steven Wilson says 13 people were in the bank in July 2020 when Metcalfe entered carrying what was later found to be an imitation handgun.
The judge accepted a joint sentencing proposal from Crown counsel and Metcalfe's defence lawyer, finding the man's guilty plea and young age were mitigating factors -- he is in his 20s -- while aggravating factors included three previous robbery convictions and the impact on people inside the bank.
