Four arrested in Tennessee robbery suspected in local home invasion
DAYTON - Robbery detectives suspect three men and a male juvenile arrested after a chase near Nashville, Tenn., is the same group that recently broke into a Dayton home and brutally attacked its 60-year-old owner.
Authorities in Tennessee chased the men Thursday after they were identified as suspects in the robbery of a check-cashing store near Nashville. The robbers fled, but crashed their car during the chase, Dayton Lt. Patrick Welsh said.
Authorities in Tennessee arrested the three men and the juvenile, though one of the suspects had to be taken to a hospital to treat serious injuries, Welsh said.
Police in Tennessee searched and found items in the car that were taken during a home invasion in Dayton on Wednesday, July 15, Welsh said. Three men burst into the home in the 1600 block of Joselin Road, beat the 60-year-old man, tied him up and took items from the home, police said.
The robbers also took the man’s Toyota Camry and a Harley Davidson motorcycle, Welsh said. The Camry was recovered “not too far” from the man’s home.
A grandmother of one of the suspects lives near Nashville, but at least one of the robbers is from Dayton, Welsh said.
“We believe in the home invasion, that the victim was targeted and it was not a random act,” Welsh said.
Detectives aren’t 100 percent sure the four people are responsible for the violent home invasion. Dayton detectives are communicating with authorities in Tennessee and hope to gather more evidence, Welsh said.
