LUDLOW - Two Holyoke men were arrested on Thursday after a Ludlow woman came home and allegedly interrupted a burglary.
According to Ludlow police Sgt. Mark Mendes, officers were sent to the victim's Jackie Drive home around 1:15 p.m. after she found one of the suspects in her bedroom. Before police could arrive, the men fled, but the victim was able to get a vehicle description and license late number.
Mednes said that a BOLO (be on the lookout) bulletin was issued and officer Dennis Fernandes pulled the suspect car over near the intersection of center and Lyon streets in Ludlow. Following a brief investigation, the two men were arrested.
Mendes reported that Fred A. Falcon, no age given, of 66 Center St. and Derek Cruz, no age given, of 158 West St. Apt. 204, both of Holyoke, were charged with breaking and entering in the daytime.
Both Falcon and Cruz were taken into custody and held awaiting arraignment. The felony charge of breaking and entering in the daytime carries a maximum penalty of ten years in state prison if convicted.
