3 Suspects Captured in East Windsor Home Invasion

EAST WINDSOR, CT — Three people were taken into custody early Tuesday afternoon after a home invasion was thwarted on Kreyssig Road, police said.

Three individuals broke into the home while a resident was still inside the house. The resident was able to call 911 while hiding in an upstairs bedroom and gave a description of the suspects for responding officers, police said.

The victim said initially the suspects had rang the doorbell and knocked on his front door. When the victim did not answer, the suspects broke into the home and he could hear them walking around downstairs, police said.

As officers were arriving, they noticed a vehicle matching the description leaving the area where the victim's home is located. The vehicle was stopped and the occupants were detained. After a thorough investigation, probable cause was found that all three occupants were responsible for the home invasion and they were arrested, police said.

The suspects have been identified as Luis Velazquez, 37, Wilson Zayas, 37, and Jose Torres, 31, all of Springfield, Mass. They were each charged with home invasion, second-degree burglary, criminal possession of a firearm, third-degree larceny, first-degree criminal mischief, theft of a firearm and weapons in a motor vehicle.

The suspects were held overnight in lieu of $750,000 bond at the East Windsor Police Department, and are slated to appear Wednesday in Enfield Superior Court.
