Violent robber convicted of ‘gang-like violence’
By Keith Fraser, The Province February 3, 2012 6:13 PM

A Vancouver man convicted in a violent home-invasion robbery has been sentenced to three years, nine months in jail.

In December, Ibrahim Ali, 21, was found guilty of eight counts, including break and enter and robbery with a restricted firearm in connection with a December 2008 home invasion on East 21st Avenue in Vancouver.

After doing a reconnaissance of the home, Ali and three other males broke into the home, with the three others entering a bedroom, pointing a gun at and beating up a man named Serajoutdin Mourtazaliev.
