NANAIMO — A lengthy jail sentence awaits a man who robbed three Nanaimo banks, including two in one week.

Daniel William Harlow, 47, pleaded guilty Monday in provincial court in Nanaimo to three robbery charges in Nanaimo and a fourth in Surrey. Harlow also pleaded guilty to a probation breach.

Harlow is slated to be sentenced in a Nanaimo courtroom some time in April for the offences which all occurred last year.

A joint submission between the Crown and defence involves Harlow spending several years in jail.

Harlow’s punishment will ultimately be decided by a judge.
