Albany Man Sentenced 9 Years After Stealing Guns

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

A 42-year-old Albany man was sentenced to 9 years in prison and 5 years probation after pleading guilty to felony second-degree burglary back in April.

 

According to Albany County District Attorney David Soares, this was Robert Dempsey's second burglary conviction. He was convicted of third-degree attempted burglary in March of 2002.

 

It was in the overnight hours between July 30th and 31st, 2007 that Dempsey broke into a home at 225 Western Avenue through a window, Soares said.

 

Inside, Dempsey stole a rifle and a shotgun, along with various other items.

 

Police later received a call about a man walking down the street with guns, and upon responding, recovered the guns from Dempsey.

 

Soares said fingerprints lifted from the window were able to match Dempsey to the crime.
