The Court of Appeal partially overturned the first-instance judgment regarding three defendants charged with theft. While the court upheld the conviction for D. D. and O. W., it increased O. W.'s sentence to two years and removed the mitigating provision for B. W. The court found that the lower court incorrectly applied the leniency clause to B. W. and failed to properly address the statutory basis for O. W.'s punishment, necessitating a correction to ensure legal consistency.
