Three men smashed their way into the store via the front door and stole several guitars, valued at just over $1,000. Following the break-in, the owner of the store began sleeping in his establishment to keep tabs on the business, court heard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 9, the owner witnessed two men walking down the street just after 4 am carrying bags and boxes. Shortly thereafter he heard the sound of smashing glass and witnessed the men smashing in the front window of Gem &amp; Dia Jewelry store, which is also located on Muskoka Road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The witness called police and the men ran away but not before stealing more than $10,000 worth of merchandise. The witness identified one of the men, and the police subsequently arrested Binder and two other men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the stolen merchandise was recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Binder was also arrested on separate charges for being at a residence he had been ordered not to attend, less than 24 hours after being released on unrelated charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Crown put forward a joint sentencing request for six months of house arrest, followed by three months under curfew, 12 months probation and restitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice R. William initially had trouble agreeing to the sentence, saying the nature of the crimes had been so \u201cbrazen\u201d that the store owner had slept in his own shop in an effort to protect his business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou certainly were a big problem in Gravenhurst back in November,\u201d said Williams. \u201cIt contributes to the sense of lawlessness people feel. There\u2019s a feeling in the community that crimes like this are going unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, Williams agreed to the joint sentencing submission.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One-third of a trio who smashed their way into stores in Gravenhurst and made off with more than $10,000 in merchandise had his day in court recently.
