A man who broke into a jewellery store and stole thousands worth of products in 2009 has been sentenced 12 years later.
The man, who was 17 at the time and considered a juvenile, pleaded guilty in Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday to break and enter, steal.
Court documents state the man, now 29, entered the Banora Point Shopping Village at 12.50am on March 3 with two others by using bolt cutters to cut the padlock on the side entrance.
Once in the centre the people smashed the front locked glass door of the Swiss Boutique Jewellers store by unknown forceful means and gained access.
