South Australia’s notorious bicycle bandit has been jailed for 85 years for his decade-long reign of terror over banks, with the judge noting the terminally ill robber’s family was bracing for his imminent death. Justice Sandi McDonald acknowledged that there was an “air of artificiality” about the penalty she had imposed on Kym Allen Parsons, which was ultimately reduced to 35 years with a non-parole period of 28 years.
“I hope that has become easier in the knowledge that his conduct resulted in you taking a route out the back door that has ultimately led to evidence that has been a crucial part in identifying you as the person responsible for these crimes.” In September 2014, he returned to the Mt Pleasant branch of Bank SA for a third time and after a manager activated a security screen, he responded by discharging three shots at the door.
