Christopher Honey and Shaun Fargher were given a combined prison sentence of almost 24 years for breaking into the house in Bramley before threatening to shoot the two occupants with an imitation gun.
In a victim impact statement, the male resident wrote:"This has been the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to me. I had never been so afraid of losing someone I love - I had feelings of terror I have never had before.
The two parked up and approached the house, having kept on their motorcycle helmets to disguise their identities. One was holding an imitation gun and another holding a large piece of wood or metal. After entering the house, the defendants separated the two victims and repeatedly demanded to know where the cannabis grow was being kept.While one of the defendants went to check, the other guarded the couple in the kitchen. He kept the gun pointed at the couple, threatening to shoot the woman in the shoulder if the man did not keep still.
Fargher, of Gaw Green Avenue, Wakefield, had pleaded not guilty to aggravated burglary and possession of an imitation firearm, but was convicted at trial. Sentencing him, Recorder Giuliani said:"The same applies in your case but I also need to consider dangerousness provisions. You present such a risk.
Honey, of Tavistock Park, had pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary and possession of an imitation firearm.
