Lakeland car jacking results in nine-month jail sentence
A man who was on probation, when he committed a carjacking- and held two young women captive, has received a nine-month jail sentence.
Cory Halkett, 32, appeared Thursday morning at Prince Albert Provincial Court and entered guilty pleas to two counts of unlawful confinement, as well as resisting arrest, and breach of a probation order.
The case, which dates back to Oct. 18, 2022, had originally been scheduled for trial; however, Halkett opted to change his pleas.
On the day of the incident, around 2:30 p.m., a vehicle was parked on the side of Highway 263.
