2 Sentenced For Series Of Westchester Burglaries

Two Westchester men who pleaded guilty to a series of burglaries received their sentences. Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced Christian Rosa, 28, of Valhalla, and Damien Williams, 27, of White Plains, were sentenced June 13 and June 14, respectively, for burglaries throughout the county in early 2018.

Rosa was sentenced to the following, to which he pleaded guilty: for six counts of second-degree burglary, felonies – 14 years in state prison on each count to run concurrently.

Williams pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree attempted burglary, felonies, and will serve two one-year terms in county jail to run consecutively.

A third defendant, Vincent Cuccurullo, 33, of White Plains, pleaded guilty Sept. 17 in Westchester County Court to second-degree burglary for a burglary of a home in Scarsdale which he committed with Rosa. He was sentenced in October to nine years in state prison.

Authorities said, from Jan. 22, 2018, through Feb. 21, 2018, Rosa burglarized multiple homes in Mount Pleasant, Eastchester, New Rochelle and Scarsdale. Williams was involved with Rosa in burglaries in New Rochelle and Mount Pleasant.

The indictment was the result of a joint investigation among the District Attorney’s Office and police departments from Greenburgh, Mount Pleasant, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, City of Rye, Eastchester and White Plains, which worked together to investigate and arrest these defendants.

Rosa and Williams committed burglaries of homes throughout Westchester during the day while the homeowners were out of the house. They forced entry into the homes and stole numerous items including jewelry, coins and credit cards.

They were arrested Feb. 21, 2018.
