Two Suspects Arrested in String of Local Burglaries

Tredyffrin Township Police have arrested two men believed to be behind a six-month home burglary spree.

Police say 24-year-old  Christopher “Matt” Fazzini of Avonwood Drive in Wayne, and 22-year old Brendan White Burke of Spruce Lane in Berwyn were arrested last Thursday. Information about the arrests was released Monday, July 9.

According to a Tredyffrin Police news release, the two men were arrested in connection with a home burglary crime "spree" that stretched from Malvern to Wayne, including Berwyn.

According to police, Fazzini and Burke are charged in a string of crimes that began on November 26, 2011 and continued through March 2 of this year.  Police say burglars in the crimes "commonly had knowledge of the occupants and/or their whereabouts."

Police say the pair typically did not use force to get into the homes they are accused of burglarizing. According to police the items stolen in the burglaries were pawned in the greater Philadelphia area and are "reported to be a means to support drug habits."
