Twin brothers have been sentenced for an assault and robbery at a Salmon Valley home in June.
Kirk Arthur Clark was sentenced to two years less a day and two years probation for robbery and to one day in jail for assault with a weapon.
He was also sentenced to four months in jail and issued a three-year driving prohibition for driving while disqualified under the Criminal Code and to 30 days in jail for driving without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act.
Brother Joel Milton Clark was sentenced to one day in jail and one year probation for assault with a weapon.
The sentences, issued Friday in B.C. Supreme Court in Prince George, stem from a July 24 incident in which the 26-year-olds allegedly attempted to steal a metal gate from the driveway of a Wright Creek Road home using a skid steer tractor.
One of the residents was struck in the head with an object and he and another man were chased by one of the suspects wielding an axe, police said at the time.
The Clarks then fled the scene in a black pickup truck with a flat deck trailer, but Kirk Clark was arrested the next day without incident when he was seen driving near Austin Road and Highway 97 in the Hart. Joel Clark was located and arrested a week later.
