FAIRFIELD, Conn. Anthony Rodriguez, 21, of Campfield Drive has become the third person to be arrested in connection with a September home invasion on Lenox Road.
A Lenox Avenue resident and his houseguests told police that three armed men broke into the Fairfield home on Sept. 24. The men demanded money and left with the purse and cell phone of one of the guests. Two suspects were arrested in November, and the investigation linked Rodriguez to the incident as well.
Rodriguez was charged with conspiracy to commit a home invasion, first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery. His bond was set at $50,000, and he is due to face charges on Dec. 9.
