Brazen thief admits to invading senior couple’s Bayside home and ransacking it for loot A Brooklyn man could spend the next dozen years in the slammer aft er pleading guilty to his role in a brutal Bayside home invasion more than three years ago. Vincente Barzola, 41, was one of two men who knocked on the door of a senior couple’s apartment on 15th Avenue on the aft ernoon of April 23, 2014. When the 85-year-old woman answered it, prosecutors said, Barzola allegedly told her that he and his partner — Christopher Ramirez, 27 — were part of the building’s maintenance crew, and that they needed her signature on a form. Barzola and Ramirez barged into the home as the woman unlocked the door, according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown. Th ey proceeded to tie her up with plastic ties and did the same to her then-87-year-old husband, who was sleeping in an upstairs bedroom at the time. Offi cers said they awoke the man and pepper-sprayed him. Law enforcement sources said Barzola and Ramirez ransacked the apartment, removing a safe containing more than $15,000 in cash along with gold and diamond jewelry. Both seniors were treated for their injuries at a local hospital. “Th e victims in this case — both octogenarians — weren’t just robbed of their precious possessions. Th e defendant also stole their sense of security that they were safe in their own home,” Brown said in a statement. Barzola, who was arrested in January of 2015, pleaded guilty on May 30 of this year to a fi rst-degree burglary charge; he’s expected to be ordered to serve 12 years in prison and 2 1/2 years’ probation when he is sentenced on June 20. Ramirez previously pleaded guilty to fi rst-degree burglary and is awaiting sentencing.
