TORONTO -- A notorious bank robber who was dubbed the "Vaulter" for his technique of jumping over bank counters has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
York regional police say Jeffrey James Shuman pleaded guilty last month to seven counts of robbery with a firearm.
They say the 55-year-old was sentenced by a judge on Tuesday and was given a 34-month credit for time already served.
Shuman was arrested on an international warrant in Switzerland in September 2015.
Police said at the time that he was wanted in connection with 21 bank robberies in the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Ottawa, and Calgary between 2010 and 2015.
Shuman was extradited to Canada in February 2016 to stand trial.
