Major Case Bureau reports the arrest of a Connecticut man for a Burglary that originally occurred on July 26, 2018 at 4:22 pm in Westbury.

 

According to Gang Investigations Squad Detectives, the male victim, 50, opened his front door after hearing the doorbell and observed three unknown males.

Once inside, two of the subjects displayed handguns and forced the victim to the floor. The first subject stayed with the victim and the other two subjects went into a bedroom. A short time later, the men exited the bedroom and all three subjects left the house. The victim went into the bedroom and noticed a television and gaming console were missing.
