Two men involved in two separate Candia burglaries have been sentenced to prison terms.

Joey Labonville, 30, and Nacasio Bantolino, 23, have both been sentenced to prison terms for burglaries they performed separately in 2001 and 2003, respectively.

Bantolino was one of several men involved in a burglary at 369 Chester Turnpike in Candia on Sept. 2, 2003. Jewelry, a radio and binoculars were stolen from the home.

At the time of the burglary, Bantolino, who originally hails from Massachusetts, was living at 114 Lake Ave. in Manchester.

Police Chief Mike McGillen said Bantolino was charged with knowingly retaining property in excess of $1,000.

On March 25, Bantolino pleaded guilty to the burglary charges and was given a two- to four-year sentence and forced to pay $226 in restitution.

Bantolino has an extensive criminal record and is currently serving a sentence in Massachusetts, said McGillen.

Dustin Hoffman, 24, pleaded guilty to his involvement in the same burglary on Nov. 23, 2004. At the time of the burglary, he was living in Manchester. He was given a two-and-a-half- to five-year sentence.

Joey Labonville was also sentenced to three to six years for his involvement in the burglary of Stubby's Restaurant in Candia in 2001. He pleaded guilty to the burglary on April 1.

Labonville stole less than $100 from the register at Stubby's during the burglary, said McGillen. However, the burglary was not Labonville's first offense.

"He has a long history of burglary and theft - a serious criminal record," said McGillen.

Manchester police helped catch Labonville, who had taken part in a number of burglaries around the greater Manchester area at the time of his arrest at a Merrimack break-in.

McGillen said Labonville has to pay restitution to Stubby's Restaurant through the Department of Corrections as well as serving time at New Hampshire State Prison.
