PAGE 7. Man busted in chop shop sting gets 1 year One of several people arrested following an undercover operation in chop shops and the theft of auto- mobiles was sentenced to one year in jail, when he appeared in Wing- ham's provincial court, Oct. 18. David Jervis of Seaforth was charged with 17 counts of posses- sion of stolen property. The investigation began in April of 1994, with a Crime Stoppers tip that a rural garage had been taking in stolen vehicles, stripping them down and then selling them for parts. Undercover officers eventually recovered nine GMC pickup trucks worth $250,000, which had been taken from homes and dealerships in several counties and throughout the Waterloo Region. Defense Counsel Alan Mill referred to the pre-sentence report as one that was "essentially good", adding that his client had never been involved with the law before and was looked at in his communi- ty as an exemplary person. He said that Jervis's sole motivation was "sheer greed." Mill stressed that his client had not been directly involved in the chop shop, but had bought parts from them for his car lot and repair shop. He added that of all the people charged, Jervis had been the first to plead guilty and has co-operated fully with police even providing them with information that would help with the investigation. Mill added that a substantial recovery had been made by the officers and once again reminded Judge R.G.E. Hunter that his client was well-respected in his commu- nity. Mill said a joint submission with the crown as to a penalty of one year in reformatory had been agreed upon. This was reiterated by Crown Attorney Don Vale. "It is a rather difficult situation for you and your family to get caught up in a stupid situation like this, and ruin an otherwise exem- plary reputation," Judge Hunter chastised Jervis before sentencing him to 12 months concurrent on each charge.
