Milford Police Make Home Invasion Arrests

Four Arrests made in a Melba Street Home Invasion from May 2017

On May 29, 2017, Milford Police received a complaint of a Home Invasion which just took place at a Melba Street Residence and that the suspects had just left in a silver Infiniti sedan after using a firearm to forcibly take items from the resident’s home. While en-route to the residence a Milford Officer observed a vehicle matching the description traveling at a high rate of speed on Old Gate Lane near New Haven Avenue, and began pursuing.

The pursuit ended as the Officer lost sight of the vehicle on East Town Road near Boston Post Road. The Officer was able to obtain the license plate number which came back to Charles Johnson (B/M, 47) 104 Haven Street, New Haven. Officers then made contact with the victims (a male and a female) at the Melba Street address.

Officers learned that the victims had recently gotten to the house and were inside of the male victim's bedroom when two black males, both with their faces concealed, forced themselves into the room and using a firearm demanded money from the victims. After several minutes, an additional family member of the male victim came home and announced their presence. At this point, the male suspects grabbed several items from the room and left the residence.

An in-depth and thorough investigation took place and with the help of fingerprint/ DNA analysis, eye-witnesses and other methods, three more suspects, Larry Davis (B/M, 26) 58 Dixwell Avenue, New Haven, Thomas Sanders (B/M, 42) 58 Dixwell Avenue, New Haven and Selena Cardenas (W/F, 22) 261 Ely Avenue, Norwalk, were developed.

Between January 17th and 19th, all four suspects were taken into custody and charged below
