New York man sentenced for burglary ring involving 2 sons; multiple homes in 3 counties hit
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A father is joining his two sons in prison for what authorities say was a two-generation burglary ring that targeted homes in three upstate New York counties.
The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports (http://bit.ly/1riptSv ) that 57-year-old John Mickels of Sprakers was sentenced Monday in Montgomery County Court to six years in prison. Mickels pleaded guilty in July to a felony burglary count.
Prosecutors say Mickels provided the transportation during the burglaries committed by his two sons, 30-year-old Jonathan of Middleburgh and 33-year-old Joshua of Fort Plain.

Authorities say the trio burglarized multiple homes in Montgomery, Otsego and Schoharie counties.
