BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Two Buffalo men admitted to a terrifying home invasion last January on Goethe Street.

The Erie County District Attorney’s Office says 22-year-old Alezander Lermineau and 17-year-old Nicolas Weathington admitted to unlawfully entering an elderly retired Buffalo school teacher’s home.

Lermineau and Weathington admitted to holding the 84-year-old woman down and covering her mouth. They admitted to stealing her purse and using her credit cards to go on a shopping spree at the Walden Galleria.

The men pleaded guilty to the highest charges they could have been convicted, second-degree robbery and second-degree burglary. Both men face a maximum sentence of 15 years behind bars. They will be sentenced in December.
