From memory the people who did the attempted jewel heist at the Dome got around twenty years.
This from a news agency
"The relatives of a toddler mown down by a hit-and-run driver in a stolen car have slammed the judge who handed him a 12-week jail sentence.
Mohammed Hussain, 26, was also driving with no licence or insurance when he sped off after killing three-year-old Levi Bleasdale in Burnley.
She was struck as she crossed Ormerod Road with her mum, Kirsty Ryan, and five-month-old sister Brogan in September last year.
She died in the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, where her life support machine was switched off.
After Hussain was sentenced last week, Levi's grandfather, Michael Ryan, slammed the leniency of the jail term. The judge could have imposed a maximum sentence of six months.
He said: "We are all devastated, I think the sentence is appalling. It's just unbelievable, even a thief gets longer than that."
He added: "We were hoping we could put this all to rest, but we cannot now."
Mohammed Aqueel Hussain, of Thurston Street, admitted failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to report an accident. He also admitted careless driving, an offence which does not carry a prison sentence.
Hussain also pleaded guilty to a charge of handling stolen goods and was sentenced to four weeks in prison to run concurrently with his 12-week sentence for failing to stop and failing to report an accident."
I despair!
