4th suspect arrested in home invasion where men pretended to be Amazon delivery drivers: NPPD
NORTH PORT, Fla. - The fourth suspect in a home invasion in which a group allegedly posed as Amazon delivery drivers and held a woman and child hostage is now in custody, according to the North Port Police Department.
The backstory:
In July, police said the targeted armed home invasion took place on May 23 at around 1:30 p.m. in the 2500 block of Hobblebrush Drive in North Port.
The suspects posed as Amazon delivery drivers to lure a young female to the door, according to investigators, then forced their way inside.
NPPD said the men stole cash and ransacked the home, then held the mother and daughter inside the home while waiting for the father to return.
When the father returned home, police said one of the suspects confronted him and a struggle ensued before the suspects took off.
Dig deeper:
According to NPPD, one of the suspects later stole an unoccupied Ford F-150 with the keys inside.
Last month, NPPD announced the arrests of Robert St. Germain, of Port St. Lucie, Anton Bradley Brown, of the Miami area, and Adlet Javon Francis, of Orlando.
On Thursday, police said Akeem Davis, of Orlando, was arrested with the help of U.S. Marshals.
