Armed robber jailed, 6 years

A 43-year-old man has been jailed for six years and six weeks for being part of armed robberies in Bunbury last year.

Jayson Lee Fryer was jailed on Thursday after he was convicted at a trial in the Perth Supreme Court in May of two counts of armed robbery and one count of attempted armed robbery.

Fryer drove co-offender Craig Lawrence Lang, 44, to three places in Bunbury and Eaton on May 17, 2014, to commit the offences.

Justice Robert Mitchell said Fryer, who grew up in Harvey, was kicked out of an outlaw motorcycle gang a month before the offences because he suffered drug-induced paranoia and hallucinations.

Fryer will be eligible for parole after serving four years and six weeks in prison.

Lang was jailed in December for four years and nine months jail for the same offences.
