LYNN — A second man was arrested on Monday afternoon in connection with an armed home invasion on Hamilton Avenue earlier this month.
Ian Wilkie, 28, of Lynn, was charged with home invasion. Detectives spotted him near Aborn School. He was stopped at Eastern and Oakwood avenues near the school and arrested on a warrant. Police believe he brandished a handgun during the robbery.
Antron Bogues, 31, of Lynn, was arrested on the same charge last week. He was picked up in Beverly after police were able to get a warrant.
Police, who believe the two men were working together to commit the robbery, responded to 25 Hamilton Ave. on Jan. 6 around 4 p.m. after reported gunshots. When police arrived, they noticed a man, believed to be Bogues walking away from the apartment.
Officers met with a 33-year-old victim, who told them he was in his third-floor apartment when he heard someone in the doorway turning one of the doorknobs to his residence. He peeked outside, and when he went to confront the man at his side door, the suspect pulled out a handgun. Police believe the suspect is Wilkie.
After the weapon was brandished, the victim said he grabbed the handgun, and a 10-minute struggle followed, where three to four shots were fired. After the gun fell to the floor, the victim ran, and the suspect appeared to enter the apartment.
Police found a bullet hole in the hallway door window, but no shell casings. The victim said that six watches were stolen from the apartment.
