A Las Vegas man who pleaded guilty to possessing a large number of items stolen during a series of home invasions was sentenced to two to six years in prison Tuesday.

District Judge John McGroarty sentenced Edward Bonsor, 30, under terms of a plea agreement.

One of Bonsor's co-defendants, Nahum Joshua Brown, 24, was sentenced Monday to 6 1/2 to 16 years.

Prosecutors said Brown, Draketonial Macon, 31, and Tyrone Walker, 35, committed a series of home invasion robberies between Sept. 29 and Dec. 9, 1999.

Macon and Walker have also entered plea agreements and are awaiting sentencing.

In each case residents of Summerlin-area homes were duct-taped. In one of the cases the men even drove the victims to banks and forced them to withdraw money out of automated teller machines.

Macon was arrested after an 11-year-old victim identified him as an acquaintance of her father.

Macon's arrest led to the arrests of the others.
