Pair Charged in Suffolk Home Invasion

Two men have been arrested in a home invasion that occurred last month in Suffolk County, police said.

After an extensive investigation by Fourth Squad and Arson Squad detectives, Louis Martini, 21, and Anthony Hlatky-Mupo, 21, both of Selden were arrested separately in Selden Friday morning.

According to police, Hlatky-Mupo and Martini were wearing masks and armed with shotguns when they entered a Nissequogue home on Smith Lane on Sept. 26 at about 8 a.m. and demanded cash and valuables from the homeowners.

The men stole assorted jewelry, electronics and a 2006 Lexus, police said. The two residents inside the home were not injured. Hlatky-Mupo and Martini fled in the Lexus and set it on fire at Lake Ronkonkoma County Park about 30 minutes after leaving the house, police said.

Both men are charged with first degree burglary and third degree arson. They were held overnight at the Fourth Precinct and are scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday.
