Woman Sentenced in Roseville Home Invasion
Break-in occurred last December at Legacy Endeavor's Roseville group home.
A Ramsey County district judge has sentenced a 21-year-old St. Paul woman to three years and five months in prison after she pleaded guilty Friday to assisting a home invasion in Roseville last December, the St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting.
The sentence for Renesha Irma Motten came after she pleaded guilty in June to aiding and abetting first-degree aggravated robbery in connection with the home invasion of the Legacy Endeavors Group Home, the newspaper said.
This past January, Roseville Patch reported that Metro Transit police arrested three men for their alleged participation in the Roseville group home invasion. To see that story click here.
Roseville police Lt. Lorne Rosand said that on Dec. 29, 2011 a woman was arrested who police believed to have accompanied the three assailants to a convenience store to withdraw cash with a stolen ATM card. Rosand identified the woman as Renesha Irma Princella Motten, of St. Paul.
Meanwhile, a resident of the group home recalled her thoughts to Roseville Patch about the home invasion incident. You can read her account by clicking on this link.

I see home invasion stories like this all the time. Usually the intruders just kick-in the door. In my opinion, the most effective and least expensive thing you can do is to add good door security hardware to your doors to make them as secure as possible. You can get what's called a Door Security Pro door guard - http://www.DoorSecurityPro.com . It's a thick metal plate that reinforces wooden door frames which is what usually breaks when someone kicks in a door.
