FARMINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — A third suspect, Jhoan Enrique Mina Lopez, 28, was arrested on Saturday, January 4, in connection with a home burglary that occurred in May 2024 in Farmington, police reported.
The burglary took place on Mountain Spring Road, where a homeowner called 911 after hearing the sound of a rear window breaking. Upon police arrival, officers found a broken window and a damaged screen, but no suspects were located inside the home.
Through a subsequent investigation, police were able to identify multiple suspects involved in the crime.
Earlier, two individuals had already been arrested in connection with the burglary. Misael Agustin De La Colina Palomino, 32, and Ninoska Bravo Valencia, 27, were charged in relation to the thefts.
