The appellate court combined the defendant's suspended sentence with a new prison term, resulting in a total sentence of one year. The prosecution argued that the defendant committed multiple thefts in quick succession, which should be treated as a single serious crime rather than minor offenses. The court agreed, rejecting the defense's claim that the acts constituted only minor violations, and ordered the defendant to pay compensation to the victims.
