3 juveniles charged in burglary of Coventry home

COVENTRY, Conn. (WTNH) — Three juveniles were charged after allegedly burglarizing a home on Woodland Road earlier this month, Coventry police say.

Police said the burglary occurred at a then-vacant home on Woodland Road. However, when the homeowners returned around the first of the month, they reported finding evidence of forced entry by someone who appeared to have spent "considerable time" there.

Officers said they used the home's surveillance video to identify the teens- both by their appearance and the fact they referred to each other by name on the video, according to police.

The three juveniles- ages 15, 16, and 17- were all charged with first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal trespass, and sixth-degree larceny.

The 17-year-old suspect was also charged with possession of alcohol by a minor, according to police.

They were referred to the Superior Court for Juvenile Matters in Willimantic.

When Daniel Penny wrapped his arm around the neck of a homeless man on a Manhattan subway last year, the 25-year-old veteran appeared to be deploying a non-lethal chokehold long drilled into U.S. Marines. Done right, the maneuver should knock a person out without killing them, according to Joseph Caballer, a combat instructor in the Marine Corps who trained Penny in several types of holds. Prosecutors allege that Penny "went way too far" in his attempt to restrain Neely, showing an "indifference" toward his life even after he had lost consciousness and stopped fighting back.
