A burglar was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison, while his accomplice who served as a lookout was slapped with a nine-month prison term. The two burglarized a house in As Teo and stole assorted jewelry and other items. <\/p>\n
Gorjonny V. Camacho, 21, pleaded guilty to burglary, while George Grover, 23, pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property as part of a plea deal.<\/p>\n
Superior Court Associate Judge Teresa Kim-Tenorio sentenced Camacho to five years in prison, all suspended except for two years, with credit for seven days of time served. <\/p>\n
Kim-Tenorio sentenced Grover to five years in prison, all suspended except for nine months, with credit for a month and 14 days of time served. <\/p>\n
After serving their sentences, Camacho and Grover will each be placed on probation for five years. They were each required to pay a $500 fine, $100 court costs and $500 probation fees.<\/p>\n
Camacho and Grover were ordered to pay restitution to the victim couple in the amount of $5,096.97 before their probation ends.<\/p>\n
The two were each required to perform 300 hours of community service, complete any recommended counseling by the Community Guidance Center, and write a letter of apology to the victims.<\/p>\n
Kim-Tenorio found out that Grover has a bench warrant in a traffic case. She quashed the warrant and ordered him to appear in court on Sept. 18 for a change of plea hearing. <\/p>\n
After the sentencing, Kim-Tenorio remanded the defendants into the custody of the Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n
Attorney Joaquin DLG. Torres and assistant public defender Matthew Meyer served as respective counsels for Camacho and Grover. Assistant attorney general Heather Barcinas represented the government.<\/p>\n
Police arrested the two in May. <\/p>\n
According to police detective Catherine B. Pangelinan, Camacho admitted to police that he burglarized the house on April 11, 2014, with Grover serving as the lookout.<\/p>\n
Camacho confessed pawning some of the stolen gold jewelry to two pawnshops and that he blew all the money at a poker arcade.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said some of the stolen items were recovered from the pawnshops.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan stated in her report that a police officer responded to a house in As Teo on April 11, 2014, where a burglary happened. Missing were the owner\u2019s jewelry worth $3,000, two iPods, two Fossil watches, two cell phones, and money in an unspecified amount.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said that on May 5, 2014, Camacho\u2019s sister appeared at the Commonwealth Bureau of Investigation and told them that Camacho and Grover were behind the burglary at a house in As Teo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
