COPYRIGHT2017© DOVER - A Rochester man faces sentencing in August for committing a string of robberies in the region two and a half years ago.

Daniel Sterritt, 48, of 23 Dodge St., was originally indicted in January 2015, but in the wake of a mistrial on technical reasons, he was quickly reindicted.

Last September's reindictment listed nine burglary counts and one attempted burglary, which Sterritt pleaded guilty to last week in Strafford County Superior Court.

He has also been indicted by a York County grand jury for an alleged burglary in Lebanon on Oct. 17, 2014, the same day he and an accomplice are said to have broken into three homes in Durham and Dover.

The York County indictment lists Sterritt's home address as 29 Myrtle St., Somersworth. Another man, Sean Laughton, of 151 Indigo Hill Road, Apt 33, Somersworth, has been indicted along with Sterritt in both the Maine and New Hampshire burglaries. He has also pleaded guilty to the New Hampshire charges.

The pair allegedly struck first on Oct. 15, 2014, when they are said to have broken into residences on Sixth Street, Dover; and Steppingstone Road, Lee.

On Oct 16, they allegedly hit homes on Stagecoach Road, Liberty Lane and Parker Mountain Road, all in Barrington

Then on Oct. 17, the same day they are alleged to have burglarized the Lebanon residence, they also allegedly broke into homes in Durham, on Durham Point Road and Deer Meadow Road; and a house on Middle Road in Dover.

On Oct 21 they are charged with attempted burglary at a residence on Governor's Road in Middleton.

Finally, on Oct 23, they are charged with burglary of a house on Betts Road in Rochester

The New Hampshire charges are all Class B felonies, which in this case list maximum sentences of 30 years each.

In Maine a Class B felony can result in a maximum of 10 years in state prison, but there are no immediate plans to bring Sterritt to Maine to face those charges while such hefty prison times are possible in New Hampshire.

Sterritt's sentencing in Strafford County Superior Court is scheduled for Aug. 3.
