Two people entered guilty pleas Monday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on the day the trials in their cases were to begin.

Colin Anzevino, 21, of Snyder Avenue in Struthers, entered a guilty plea to a charge of aggravated burglary before Judge Shirley J. Christian for his role in an April home invasion in Struthers.

Prosecutors are recommending a prison sentence of eight years. Sentencing has not been set.

Tiffany Green, 20, no address available, entered a guilty plea before Judge Lou A. D’Apolito to a charge of aggravated robbery with a firearm specification. Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of six years in her case. Sentencing also has not been set.

Anzevino is one of three people indicted on a charge of breaking into an Oakland Boulevard home April 9. Police said the three are accused of forcing their way into the home and trying to steal the homeowner’s guns, reports said.

Taken were 17 guns and the home- owner’s prescription medication. The homeowner also suffered a stab wound to the arm and head injuries.

Also indicted in the crime were Timothy Conzett Jr., 25, of Snyder Avenue, and Marc L. Cooper, 20, of Deer Creek in Struthers. Conzett’s case is pending, while Cooper is free on $125,000 bond after pleading guilty to charges of felonious assault and burglary. Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of four years in prison. His sentencing is set for Oct. 14.

Green is one of two people accused of robbing a Dollar General store in Youngstown on Feb. 1, 2014, said Assistant Prosecutor Jennifer Paris.

Paris said two people wearing bandannas used guns to take money from the cash register.

Paris said police still do not know the identity of the person who robbed the store with Green.
