Two men arrested in West Reading burglary

On Thanksgiving morning, an alert neighbor called police when two men broke into a home in the 700 block of Wayne Avenue. Officers arrived within minutes of the 10:10 a.m. call, found the men inside the home and arrested them. 

One of the suspects, a 42-year-old Reading man, has prior convictions for theft, drug possession and assault. He and the other suspect, a 43-year-old Reading resident, were each charged with one count each of burglary, trespassing, theft, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief and four counts of criminal conspiracy. Both were jailed in lieu of $15,000 bail each.
