Isaiah Ferro and Zaire Braddock pleaded guilty on Apr. 15 in federal court to conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, according to U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan.
The case concerns a robbery that took place at a local business in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Prosecutors say this matter is important because it involved threats of violence and the crossing of state lines for the purpose of committing a crime.
Court documents show that Ferro, age 19 from Queens, New York, and Braddock, age 21 from Baltimore, Maryland, traveled with three co-conspirators from New York to Londonderry. Once there, all five entered the business where they threatened the victim with what appeared to be a firearm and restrained them. The group then stole merchandise and goods from the premises and loaded them into a truck driven by another accomplice before fleeing back to New York.
Ferro’s sentencing is scheduled for July 14, while Braddock’s sentencing will take place on July 29. The charge carries a maximum prison term of twenty years, up to $250,000 in fines, and no more than three years of supervised release. Sentencing decisions are made by federal district court judges based on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and relevant statutes.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation into this case with assistance from several law enforcement agencies including the Londonderry Police Department, New Hampshire State Police, Massachusetts State Police, and New York Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Krasinski is prosecuting.
