Greece, N.Y. — Three suspects have been charged in connection to a pair of violent home invasions in Greece earlier this year.
Damani Lodato, 18, of Rochester, Richard Crowder, 18, of Brockport and Sebastian Ortiz, 25, of Rochester were arrested Thursday.
Police said the suspects were armed with a semi-automatic weapon during a pair of home invasions Feb. 3 on Annie Lane and Dorsey Road.
Detectives reportedly found a loaded ghost gun and several high-capacity magazines during Thursday’s arrests.
Lodato and Crowder are each charged with two counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of first-degree burglary and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, according to police.
Ortiz is charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
Lodato was turned over to New York State Police in connection to a Feb. 7 high-speed pursuit involving an out-of-state gun transport, according to police. Crowder was also arrested in that incident.
Police said the suspect vehicle was identified using the department’s license plate reader system.
