A man has been imprisoned over a violent home invasion in Maryborough in 2019.
Brett Ian Turner pleaded guilty in the Maryborough District Court to one count of burglary in the night with violence while armed in company with property damage, one count of robbery in company with threats of violence and one count of grievous bodily harm for the incident which happened on August 21, 2019.
Crown Prosecutor Amy Stannard said Turner was arrested on August 26, 2019 and committed the offences while on bail.
The court heard the defendant and complainant were known to each other through drug dealings.
"At midnight the complainant heard a knock on the door … he answered the door and saw the defendant and four men wearing hooded jumpers with gloves on their hands."
