Man Charged for Saint Matthew’s Home Invasion
On Monday we reported a home invasion in Saint Matthew’s Village. Bibiana Kus and her family were accosted by a pair of armed men, who stormed her property sometime after nine p.m. on Saturday and stole an assortment of jewelry and her vehicle. The vehicle was recovered, but the jewelry remains missing. Today, police say that at least one of the thieves was known to Kus because he once lived at the house. Twenty-four-year-old Valerio Aragon has since been charged for three offenses including a breach of protection order.
