Siavash Razaghi (dob 4/1/84) of Oak Park and Travis Kennedy (dob 4/9/84) of Newhall face one felony count each of home invasion robbery, first-degree residential burglary and identity theft in case GA095869.

Arraignment for Razaghi is scheduled today in Department 1 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Burbank Branch. Kennedy pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 13 when the case was filed.

The felony complaint further charges Kennedy with one felony count each of possession of firearm by a felon with two priors, possession of a controlled substance with firearm, possession for sale of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and Razaghi with one count of second-degree commercial robbery.

The complaint alleges Razaghi was convicted of identity theft in 2014 and that Kennedy was convicted in 2012 of receiving stolen property valued at more than $950 and sale/offer to sell/transportation of marijuana.

On Nov. 1, 2014, the defendants allegedly knocked at the front door of a Paseo Redondo home and when a woman answered the door they forced their way inside with a gun, prosecutors said. Razaghi and Kennedy are accused of then tying up the victim and putting her inside a bathroom while they burglarized the house, prosecutors added.

The recommended bail is $2 million for Razaghi and $275,000 for Kennedy.

If convicted as charged, the possible maximum sentence for Razaghi is 22 years and eight months in state prison and Kennedy faces 24 years and four months in state prison.

The case remains under investigation by the Burbank Police Department.
