From Bee Staff:
A man who already has been sentenced for a home invasion robbery in Placer County was sentenced Friday to 21 years in prison for similar robberies in Folsom and Elk Grove.
Vadim Zakharchenko will serve the latest sentence consecutive to a 29-year-4-month sentence in received for a home invasion robbery in Granite Bay, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.
This mean Zakharchenko's aggregate sentence is 50 years and 4 months, the DA's Office said.
Here is the way Zakharchenko's Sacramento County crimes unfolded, the DA's Office said:
On May 10, 2006, the victim answered the doorbell of her Folsom home, then forced at gunpoint to let the defendant and his accomplice enter.
The victim was bound with tape and threatened repeatedly at gunpoint while the suspects ransacked her home taking jewelry, money, and her vehicle.
She later identified Zakharchenko and his accomplice in photo and live lineups. Police also found the victim's property in the defendant's home, as well as clothing matching her description of what the suspect wore.
On May 22, 2006, a second victim was in the garage at her Elk Grove home when the defendant and an accomplice approached her from behind and ordered her inside at gunpoint.
The suspects tied her up together with her husband and daughter. They ransacked the house for jewelry, money, and electronics then fled in the victim's vehicle.
