The Sayreville Police Department responded to the report of a home invasion just before 8:30 p.m. on Jan 28. By the time the police arrived, the four ran off, police said.

The resident provided police with vivid burglar descriptions, which helped police find the group that night walking on Main Street near Stacey Avenue.

Police immediately arrested three men — the fourth one put up a fight by running away from police, according to officials. He was later located in a getaway vehicle, the department said.

The Jersey City suspects have been identified as a 16-year-old; Michael Jones, 26; Keeshawn Browning, 31; and Rashad Lewis, 26.
