BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two Buffalo men were sentenced for unlawfully entering a home in 2023 and forcibly stealing money from the victims while armed, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office announced.
According to officials, Christian Palamara and Terrance Hennegan, both 24, unlawfully entered a home on Manitoba Street in Buffalo on the evening of Dec. 23. They were armed with apparent black pistols and forcibly stole $3,000 in cash from the victims.
A search warrant at the residence of the two men uncovered two illegal weapons matching the descriptions of the guns used in the home invasion. The suspect vehicle, captured on a doorbell camera, was found to match a vehicle owned by Palamara’s family member.
Hennegan was on parole at the time of the crime.
The two pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary in August. Palamara was sentenced to eight years in prison and Hennegan was sentenced to 10 years in prison as a second violent felony offender.
