21-Year-Old Arrested for Ridgefield Home Invasion: Police

RIDGEFIED, CT — Ridgefield police have arrested a local resident in connection with a 2015 home invasion in the Lake Mamanasco area, according to a press release from the Ridgefield Police Department.

On Tuesday, May 5, 2016, Ridgefield police arrested Edward Janerico, 21, of 67 Tackora Trail Ridgefield, and charged him with home invasion, unlawful restraint, second degree threatening and sixth degree larceny, police said. He was taken into custody at his residence by Ridgefield Police Detectives.
