ALTON PARK (WRCB) - Investigators say Facebook helped lead to the arrest of a pair of home invaders.
A group kicked in the door at a home on Water Street in the early morning hours of October 29th.
Armed with guns the suspects demanded money, then swiped two big screen TV's and a laptop computer.
Police say the suspects were acquainted with the victim's son. Investigators used Facebook to identify the suspects and stage a photo line-up.
Neighbors say it hit a little too close to home. .
Rosemary Porter says, "I hate that it happened, but you know non of us are exempt from this, it's happening everywhere."
Police have arrested 18 year old Dedrick Shelton, a juvenile, and they're looking for 18 year old Charles Jackson. If you know where he is, call Crime Stoppers at 698-3333.
