LUDLOW, Mass.- Three people were arrested and charged in connection with an armed home invasion in Ludlow that left a man with a significant head injury last week, according to police.
Ajaia Gladden, 25, of Three Rivers; Jaila Warren, 30, of Chicopee; and Shamal Thomas, 26, of Springfield, were arrested following a traffic stop in Chicopee, police said.
All three face charges of armed home invasion, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, armed assault in a dwelling, carrying a loaded firearm without a license, possession of a large capacity feeding device, leaving a firearm in a vehicle, and breaking and entering in the daytime while armed.
The incident happened around 9:30 a.m. Thursday, September 10, when Ludlow police responded to a home on Williams Street for a report of an armed home invasion.
Police said two men broke into the home. One allegedly struck a resident in the head with a handgun, while the other allegedly punched a resident. The suspects then fled.
Investigators obtained descriptions of the two men and the vehicle they were believed to have been traveling in. Police used Flock Safety cameras to identify a possible vehicle involved in the incident.
Chicopee police later stopped the vehicle. During the traffic stop, officers found a firearm and several other items believed to be connected to the Ludlow home invasion, according to police.
Gladden, Warren and Thomas were arrested at the scene and turned over to Ludlow police.
