Prolific burglar among those in district court

Bryan Gaudette, 22, was sentenced Tuesday to 24 to 60 months in prison on three felony counts of possession of stolen property.

Gaudette was among four people charged in connection with an auto and home burglary ring that reached from Gardnerville to Verdi.

More than 450 items of stolen goods were recovered from Carson City homes in July after a Reno traffic stop tipped police to the burglary ring.

The group would hit vehicles and homes, taking jewelry, electronics and other valuables that they would either pawn or sell.
