SAN DIEGO - The leader of a Los Angeles-based residential burglary ring that prosecutors say traveled to San Diego County to burglarize dozens of homes was sentenced Wednesday to more than 45 years in state prison.
Shively, described by the DA's Office as"the organizer and ringleader of the burglary crew," was convicted by a jury last month of 57 counts. More than $500,000 in cash and jewelry was taken during the burglaries, 10 of which occurred while victims were inside the homes, authorities said. The DA's Office said one victim was threatened at gunpoint when he returned home in the middle of a break-in. Throughout the spree, several dogs were also pepper-sprayed by the defendants, prosecutors said.
