ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Two men are heading to prison in the kidnapping of a western New York couple as part of a plan to rob the jewelry store where the couple worked.
Authorities say 29-year-old Thomas Pryor was sentenced to 18 years in prison Wednesday and 28-year-old Qzay Clark, who pleaded guilty to attempted burglary, received three years in prison.
Authorities say the men bound the couple and their adult son with duct tape and held the family hostage for a night in their Greece apartment outside Rochester last year. They hit the father in the head with a gun.
The next day, Pryor and Alexander Kates took the father’s car and robbed the jewelry store using the couple’s keys and passcode.
Kates is expected to be sentenced in June.
