1 Suspect Arrested, 3 Others At Large In South Windsor Home Invasion

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — One man is in custody and three others are being sought following a home invasion in the early morning hours Saturday, according to police.

Around 3:49 a.m., police responded to a suspicious vehicle report on Woodland Drive, and the driver said he had dropped off some friends to see a resident at a home on that street. After contacting the residents of the home, police determined three men had entered the house armed with a pistol and a long gun, and had assaulted a man and stolen a gold bracelet and a shotgun, police said.

The three suspects had fled on foot. A handgun and a shotgun, along with other items of evidentiary value, were located near the home. Police arrested the driver, Omari K. Lewis, 23, of East Hartford, and charged him with conspiracy to commit home invasion, conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit third-degree assault, according to police.

Lewis was released after posting $50,000 bond, and is slated to appear Aug. 3 in Manchester Superior Court.

Police said the invasion "is believed to be a targeted incident and there does not appear to be a threat to the general public at this time."

The case remains under active investigation.
