Police arrest 2 in Branson home invasion
BRANSON MO NEWS: BRANSON, Mo. — Police arrested two suspects in a home invasion in Branson Saturday night.
Mark Anthony Lamb, 28, and Anthony William Saucedo, 30, were charged with armed criminal action, robbery, burglary and stealing.
The home invasion happened in a neighborhood behind the Bob Evans off of Highway 76. Neighbors say two robbers walked into the unlocked house and ransacked the place. The homeowners were at home at the time of the robbery. Neighbors say they took many valuable items, including jewelry and a gun.
On social media, others in the same neighborhood reported two men posing as tree trimmers trying to rob a home earlier that night.
David Hobt said they snuck around his house after he told them to leave.
“So I went back and looked again at the camera and I saw he was going low across the front yard,” Hobt said.
Then he confronted the two men.
“One guy was there. The other guy was already in the back yard,” Hobt said. “So I went around to the guy in the front yard and told him to get out of there and walked him out, had to pull the gun to get him out of there. He wasn’t going to leave. And I walked him out, and then he said he was going to burn the house down. And his partner came from the back yard and they went up the street.”
Hobt said he compared his video to a photo of the men who ransacked the other home – and they were the same people.
Police have not confirmed if the two incidents were related.
