Man jailed for astonishing crime spree in Nanaimo and Campbell River
NANAIMO — Re-occurring substance abuse issues led to a 27 month prison sentence for a man involved in a stunning five week crime-wave in two Vancouver Island cities.
Gregg Daniel Pete, 40, learned his sentence Friday, Oct. 2 in provincial court in Nanaimo after pleading guilty to 14 primarily property and driving offences in Nanaimo and Campbell River in 2019.
Pete was depicted in court as a ring leader among several associates during the execution of break-ins at several businesses and stealing numerous vehicles.
The Crown’s Basil McCormick said an after-hours break-in at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Nanaimo on Shenton Rd. was reported to police on Sept. 16, 2019.
