Terrifying Burglary in Mansfield: Two Arrested After Home Invasion
Police rushed to a Mansfield home on Ladybrook Lane after reports of a break-in. The front door had been kicked in, and the door chain was snapped. The terrified homeowner was out when it happened but returned soon after, only to be threatened by a man demanding cash and valuables. The intruder then ransacked the house and tried to steal two dogs.
Two Men Held Over Aggravated Burglary
The shocking ordeal took place around 7.50pm on 14 February 2022. Following an investigation, officers arrested a 54-year-old man two days later on suspicion of aggravated burglary. The man was later released on bail as inquiries continued.
Then, in the early hours of Friday, 6 May 2022, a 25-year-old man was also arrested in connection with the break-in.
