'The Coin Burglar' gets seven years in prison

WARREN — A Youngstown-area man dubbed “the coin burglar” for stealing coins from apartment complex laundries in Youngstown, Liberty, Boardman and Austintown, was sentenced today to seven years in prison after his hearing Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

Reginald K. Miliner, 48, who listed addresses on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Youngstown and Deer Creek Drive in Austintown, previously pleaded guilty to a burglary charge in Trumbull County.

He also had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, where prosecutors agreed that his two-year prison sentence there would be served at the same time as his Trumbull County sentence.

Youngstown police officials said Miliner admitted to having committed at least three of the thefts.
