WILBRAHAM — Two Ludlow teens were charged with breaking and entering in the daytime and larceny over $250 after neighbors reported them entering a home on Delmore Avenue through a side window on the July Fourth holiday, police said Thursday.
Entering the home through a rear door which was left open, police encountered two males ransacking the home.
Police charged Ufuk Ibas, 18, of 50 Duke St., Ludlow, and Kyle J. Juzba, 18, of 100 Pine St., Ludlow, with breaking and entering in the daytime and larcency over $250. Juzba also was charged with carrying a dangerous weapon (brass knuckles) and possession of burglarious tools. Both men were arrested inside the home.
Police Chief Roger Tucker said various electronic devices and jewelry from the home were located in backpacks brought to the scene.
Both teens were booked at the Wilbraham Police Department, released on bail and arraigned Thursday in Palmer District Court.
Tucker said the Police Department encourages residents to call and report suspicious incidents when they happen so they can be immediately investigated. Delays in reporting suspicious activity usually results in a negative outcome, he said.
The reporting of the activity as it was taking place resulted in two arrests and kept the neighborhood from being further vandalized, Tucker said.
