ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Rochester man pleaded guilty to four home invasions targeting drug dealers.

U.S. Attorneys say the 37-year-old was involved with home invasions in Rochester and Greece between February and March of 2020. He also recruited others to join the invasions and drove people to the homes.

During some of the robberies, people were restrained and pistol-whipped. Sentencing is set for August 23.
