An offender who took part in an overnight burglary spree that involved four premises in one street and the threat of a curved knife blamed his impulse to obtain more drugs in anticipation of his parole being cancelled.
A recently published ACT Supreme Court judgment states that on April 30 last year, Bradley Caine Dawson and at least two others engaged in the burglaries across Canberra's north.
At one premises on Bettong Avenue in Throsby, Dawson used a pair of garden shears to smash two windows of a Toyota Kluger before he rummaged through it.
