Windham Burglar Sentenced to 6 Months in Jail

A Massachusetts man was sentenced this week to six months in jail for his role in a Windham burglary last February, according to the Union Leader.

The newspaper reports that Vietnam Dang, 34, of 12 Hartshorn Ave. in Worcester pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary. He had initially asked a judge to throw out the victim's identification of him due to issues with the police line-up, but he later dropped that challenge.

The other suspect in the burglary, Robert Dalton, 35, of 21 Reservoir St. in Lowell, MA is scheduled to plead guilty to burglary, robbery and conspiracy to commit burglary charges later this year.

The two men were arrested back in February after allegedly breaking into a home on West Shore Road and backing into a snow bank while trying to flee in their vehicle.
