Rojo-Rojo Gets 8 Years For New Rochelle Home Burglary

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A Queens man will do serious time for robbing a New Rochelle home.

Kevin Rojo-Rojo was sentenced on Wednesday to eight years in prison for a 2021 New Rochelle home burglary, Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah announced today. The 23-year-old's sentence will run concurrent to a nine-year prison sentence he received in June 2022 in Nassau County for five residential burglaries that took place between January and April 2021.

In August 2022, the defendant entered a guilty plea in Westchester County to felony burglary for robbing a New Rochelle home at approximately 8 p.m. on March 18, 2021. During the break-in, Rojo-Rojo shattered a glass window to gain entry into the home and stole property from the homeowners, who were not present at the time.

The New Rochelle Police Department arrested Rojo-Rojo on April 21, following an investigation, with assistance from the Harrison Police Department, the Nassau County Police Department and the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office.

The case was before Judge Alexandra Murphy in Westchester County Court, and was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Celia Curtis of the Trials and Investigations Division.
