TERRACE — The two men
responsible for - last. -month’s
armed robbery at the Northern
Motor Inn were each sentenced
in court last week to three years
in prison, —.

Kenneth Neufeld, 21, of
Calgary, pleaded guilty to the
armed robbery before provin-
cial court Judge E. Lloyd Iver-
son on May 28. His accomplice
— Douglas Petersen, of Terrace
— was arrested the next day and
pleaded guilty after making a
{ull confession to police.

Both men will serve their time
in federal prison.

Two masked men robbed the
Northern Motor Inn’s night
clerk. at gunpoint at around 3
am. May 11. When the clerk
was unable to open the office
safe, they tied him up and fled
with less than $500 from the
cash register.

RCMP found Neufeld’s run-
ning shoe treads matched the
pattern of a footprint found on
top of the office counter follow-
ing the robbery.

Neufeld confessed when
questioned by RCMP Cpl. Don
Woodhouse, admitting to the
holdup, but refusing to name
his accomplice. But police ar-
rested Peterson the next day.

“In his statements to police,
Neufeld admitted robbing the
clerk at.the hotel at gunpoint,”
prosecutor Paul Kirk told the
court.

The men ‘planned the robbery

earlier the same evening, court
was told, and waited until
everyone near the hotel was
gone, ‘
Neufeld pointed the gun at
the clerk and ordered him to
open the office safe, Kirk said.
Nepileld s said he tied the clerk up
when the man told him he
didn’t know the combination.

The two men said the gun was
an unloaded .22 calibre han-
dgun, which Neufeld threw in
the Skeena River after the
holdup.

Kirk pointed to Neufeld’s
lengthy criminal record in call-
ing for a long prison term. His
previous convictions include
numerous property offences,
Kirk explained, as well as a
15-month jail term for
assaulting a Prince George
police officer, and a nine-month
sentence for theft of a truck in
Terrace last year.

Defence lawyer Darrell
O’Byrne called for a prison
term of less than three years:
“The gun was not loaded and
there was no undue violence us-
ed,’ he said. ‘‘This was done
for a profit motive.””

In handing down the three-
year sentence, Judge Iverson
pointed to the seriousness of
Neufeld's crime. ‘‘It’s an ex-
tremely serious offence — and it
was carried out at gunpoint,”

Although Crown counsel
agreed his role was the lesser of
the two, the judge also sentenc-
ed Petersen May 30 to the same
three-year sentence.

Both men were unlawfully-at-
large from a Prince George Cor-
