Police: Suspects armed with hammers in home invasion, two arrested

Two people suspected of being involved in an early morning home invasion have been arrested, authorities say.

21-year-old Theodore Wilson and 38-year-old Kevin Jesneck now face multiple charges for an alleged armed home invasion near Frankford.

According to Delaware State Police, the incident happened around 6:30 a.m. Saturday. A 19-year-old male victim and a 18-year-old male victim were sleeping in separate bedrooms when they were suddenly awoken by three suspects forcefully breaking into the home through the front door.

Police say the victims were confronted by the suspects  armed with hammers. The victims were reportedly dragged out of their beds and into the living room while the suspects search the house. 

In a press release Sunday, Corporal Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police explains "Upon seeing car lights, the trio fled the residence and drove away in a silver Chevrolet Suburban.  The suspects fled with a large metal grinder and an undisclosed amount of cash."

We're told troopers responded to Jesneck's residence where he and Wilson were taken into custody without incident. The large metal grinder that was reported stolen was recovered.

Wilson and Jesneck now face charges for Home Invasion, Conspiracy 2nd, Offensive Touching, and Criminal Mischief.  They were both commited to the Sussex Correctional Institution on a $15,000.00 secured bond.

Police say the third suspect involved in the incident has yet to be identified. The investigation is on-going by detectives.  The victims were uninjured in the incident.
