Last week Dylan Christopher Stone, 27, now of Alisma Boulevard, Cranbourne, was found guilty in Warrnambool Magistrates Court of driving a stolen 2011 Porsche at 200km/h in a 60km/h zone on Raglan Parade on December 21, 2017.

Sentencing was adjourned until after a plea hearing in the Melbourne County Court before Judge Paul Lacava on Friday on charges of burglary, attempted burglary, theft, being a prohibited person possessing a firearm and two counts of handling stolen goods.

Stone was jailed for six years and will have to serve four years and two months before being eligible for parole, with 562 days in custody already counted as served.

Stone has nine previous court appearances for dishonesty, driving offences, drugs and acts of violence.

Judge Lacava said the relevant offending happened on January 28 last year.

He said Stone and a woman went to a property at Wellington Road, Lysterfield, south-east of Melbourne.

He drove there with a woman in a stolen green Jeep Cherokee carrying stolen plates from a similar vehicle and met up with co-offender Jake White, 34.

At 2.30am they went to an entertainment area/storage shed and loaded valuables into a Renault van driven by White.

They returned about 5am the same day and attempted to unhook a trailer loaded with jet skis but were confronted by the owner of property, drove off and police were called.

Forensic evidence linked the two men to the crimes and on February 7 last year police executed a warrant at a Cranbourne address where they found the stolen property.

Judge Lacava said it was organised and sophisticated offending conducted in a brazen manner and the items taken were clearly valuable.

A Remington shotgun, stolen motorbike and a stolen HSV Holden vehicle were also found at the Cranbourne property.

In a victim impact statement a woman said she now felt unsafe in her own home and the offending had impacted on the way she lived.

The judge said Stone was the youngest of three children, he grew up and was educated in Terang, had literacy deficits and suffered spinal injuries in a motorbike accident when he was 13 years old.

That led to Stone developing a drug habit.

Judge Lacava described Stone's future prospects as at best guarded.

He said his criminal record suggested that when Stone was under the influence of drugs he committed crime.

Stone has been in custody since February 7 last year and during that stint he had been sentenced to serve three months for other offending.

The judge noted that Stone had further matters to face in two magistrates court - one in Warrnambool in relation to driving the Porsche.

He said the offending for which he was being sentenced were very serious examples of the crimes.

White was sentenced to five years imprisonment with three-and-a-half years to serve before being eligible for parole.

The woman who went with Stone, Laura Robertson, was considered to play a relatively minor part in the offending and was jailed for nine days and placed on a 15-month community order.
