Home Invasion
On Friday October 14, 2011 at approximately 0912 hours, Ledyard Police Dispatch received a 911 call from a residence on Marla Avenue in Ledyard, Connecticut reporting a home invasion at that location. The caller reported that 3 black males had entered the residence through the basement, one of which was armed with a small silver handgun.
The black male subject armed with the handgun proceeded to point the gun at one of the occupants of the residence while attempting to rob the occupants. The black males proceeded to hold the occupants at gunpoint while locking doors in the residence to prevent escape and searching for items to steal. After several minutes within the residence, the black males fled through the basement in an unknown direction.

Detectives and Officers from the Ledyard Police Department, Detectives and Troopers from the Connecticut State Police, as well as Officers from the Montville Police, Norwich Police and agents with the FBI New London, began searching the surrounding towns for the suspects.
