Man jailed for extensive mid-island crime spree
PARKSVILLE — A man who terrorized the Parksville-Qualicum region with a series of crimes last spring has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Mark Brooks Lee, 47, received his sentence recently in Provincial Court in Nanaimo after he pleaded guilty to four charges, including a Parksville bank robbery.
Lee was convicted of robbing the TD Canada Trust branch on the Alberni Hwy. in downtown Parksville on May 10.
In addition, Lee pleaded guilty to taking a vehicle in Qualicum Beach without the owner’s consent, break-and-enter, and fleeing police in Nanoose Bay.
