A 19-year-old and a 22-year-old are headed to state prison for up to 10 years for their role in a home-invasion robbery in Hilltown Township last year, where they posed as sheriff’s deputies.
Zbigniew Still, 22, of Philadelphia, and Jarrett Fort, 19 of Glenside, pleaded guilty to robbery, burglary, conspiracy to commit robbery, and two counts of theft by unlawful taking, according to court records.
Both were sentenced to five to 10 years on the robbery charge and three to six years on the burglary charge by Bucks County Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr.
A third man was never identified and stolen firearms were never recovered, police said.

"Thankfully home invasion robberies are exceptionally rare in Bucks County. However, when they do happen, law enforcement will devote countless resources to identify and apprehend the perpetrators and we will prosecute to the fullest extent."
Authorities said that on May 25, 2023, Hilltown Township Police were dispatched to a home on the 100 block of Reliance Place in the Green Meadows development for a report of a home-invasion robbery.

Armed with a firearm, the men forced their way into the home, authorities said. The men zip-tied the victim and moved him to another location in the home.
Two of the men then stole two firearms, a large quantity of marijuana, $4,000 cash and miscellaneous clothing items, police said.
The three men fled the home in a white Ford Explorer, and the victim was able to call for help. Law enforcement was able to identify two of the three men as Still and Fort, according to Schorn.
