Ninteen years behind bars, that's the sentence for the North Texas cellphone store bandit.

Komla Detsikou had pleaded guilty, the judge's decision to sentence him to 19-years in prison brings his case to an end.


Detsikou is one of the men arrested for the violent, take-down robberies of stores around the metroplex including in Grand Prairie, Dallas and Fort Worth.

In at least one case, Detsikou tied up an employee with zip ties while he helped himself to a safe-full of smartphones.

Detsiku and another man were busted when FBI agents got a tip on a car seen leaving one of the scenes. They followed the car to another cell phone store in Corinth where they put an end to the string of robberies. In the car officials found masks, gloves and a loaded gun.
