The appellate court partially upheld the appeal by increasing the civil compensation award for the victims of a theft and robbery to 4,951 PLN. The defense argued for a lighter sentence due to the severity of the circumstances, while the private prosecutor contested the factual findings regarding the stolen goods. The court rejected the criminal appeal but adjusted the civil liability based on the specific inventory of stolen items and the material situation of the defendants.
