A Lubbock County jury on Thursday sentenced Kenneth Devroe to 12 years in prison for burglarizing a Lubbock business.

Devroe, 40, broke into the Tobacco Express on West 19th Street on September 29, stealing several cartons of cigarettes and some lighters.

He also has two pending burglary charges against him.

Devroe pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted an enhancement based on four prior convictions, including two burglaries of a habitation, an unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and a theft.

The priors increase his penalty range from six months to two years in state jail to two to 20 years in prison.
