Police have obtained a warrant and plan to arrest a second minor in connection with the home invasion that injured an 87-year-old woman in Watertown.
Police said the second minor is a 17-year-old who
they believe to be currently out of state. They expect to charge him
with first-degree kidnapping with a firearm, second-degree assault of an
elderly person, home invasion, fifth-degree larceny, breach of peace,
credit card theft, second-degree threatening and first-degree reckless
endangerment.
The first juvenile suspect was arrested Friday, Oct.
25 and charged with with first-degree kidnapping with a firearm,
second-degree assault of an elderly person, home invasion, fifth-degree
larceny, breach of peace, credit card theft, second-degree threatening
and first-degree reckless endangerment.
The home invasion happened just after 9 a.m Wednesday
when two men invaded Alma York’s home in the 600 block of Sunnyside
Avenue. Police said the suspects pistol whipped her and tore out one of
her earrings before burglarizing the house.
Authorities said the first suspect had a gun during
the home invasion and admitted his involvement to police. Investigators
have determined the crime to be a random act of violence and a “crime of
opportunity.” He is being held at a juvenile detention facility while
awaiting his court date.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Watertown police at 860-945-5214.
