AUBURN — A Monmouth man pleaded guilty this week to stealing cocaine and cash from two men at their apartment on Hampshire Street in April.

Brian Krafton, 27, pleaded guilty to robbery, which is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

Related charges, including burglary and aggravated assault, were dismissed.

The case was continued for sentencing.

Krafton and another man invaded the home, police said.

The victims said the pair were wearing masks, carrying bats and guns and demanded money. 

Krafton told police he struck a victim with a bat.

One intruder told police he and the other intruder stole a backpack containing cocaine, along with $500 cash, which they split evenly.

A third man visiting the apartment set up the robbery, one of the victims told police.
