Nicholas Kevin Taylor, 21, of Ashmont, appeared in Wagga District Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to aggravated break and enter and commit a serious indictable offence.

He also faced 14 other charges with seven of those being traffic offences for which he was convicted and fined.

Court documents state that about 5.20am on December 13, 2017, Taylor and an unknown co-offender used a stolen Holden Commodore as "an offensive weapon" to reverse at speed into the business's premises.

He and the co-offender then stole two mini-motorbikes, two pairs of motorcycle goggles and $150 from the business.

By the time police arrived, the offenders were gone.

Police arrested Taylor later that morning in Ashmont after they saw him riding one of the bikes, as well as seeing the Commodore used in the ram raid.

He was found to have a single Holden car key, a black torch, a pair of black scissors and black gloves.

In his remarks, Judge Lerve said that despite Taylor's relatively young age, he has a record that does not entitle him to any particular leniency and found him "most unimpressive" during earlier hearings.

"The offender said in evidence that he felt bad for the owners of the shop. However, the offender was far from convincing," Judge Lerve said.

"He had a reluctant and grudging tone and answered 'no comment' a number of times to questions from his own solicitor and the Crown."

However, Judge Lerve said that during the evidence hearing on May 16, he accepted that Taylor had difficulty expressing himself.

He also said he did not find Taylor remorseful and that the other non-traffic charges were "certainly very much towards the lower end of the scale of seriousness for matters of that type".

The court also heard that Taylor's offending "appears to be underpinned by his acceptance of a criminal lifestyle combined with risk-taking behaviours and his abuse of illicit substances".

The other seven offences, including two car thefts, were placed on a Form One, a procedure by Taylor's lawyers to give those offences lower prominence during sentencing to give a greater incentive to admit guilt and reduce the sentence for the main offence.

Outside court after the sentence, Taylor's mother said: "He is remorseful for what he's done, why wouldn't he be?"

He will be eligible for parole in May next year.
