Police prosecutor Seargent Donna Kay told the court police had to deploy tyre stingers to apprehend McIntyre, who works as a floor covering installer, after he’d stolen a car and racked up an estimated $7500 in property damages.

The court heard he also allegedly stole another car on July 28 but the car was later recovered.

Sgt Kay told the court McIntyre had a length criminal history of similar types of offending including unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

McIntyre’s lawyer said her client had been in custody for some 100 days after his parole was revoked.

He was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment and ordered to pay $650 in restitution to a victim whose car was damaged. He was also disqualified from driving for two years.
