(La Porte County, IN) - Charges are filed in connection with a man confronting several home invaders during the early morning hours in the Rolling Prairie area.

 

One of the suspects is also accused of trying to force his way into another nearby home that same morning, but was driven away by the property owner pulling a gun on him.

 

Christopher Henderson, 37, is charged with burglary and attempted burglary. Cory Horton, 26, and Melissa Locquiao, 39, are each charged with burglary.

 

According to court documents, a husband and wife on August 31 woke up about 4 a.m. and with flashlights confronted the individuals inside their residence in the 3300 block of E. Division Road.

 

The suspects left without incident but were found by police walking along County Road 50 North after an attempted home invasion. 

 

Investigators learned Henderson had just tried forcing open a door at another home in the 4300 block of E. 50 North, according to court documents. 

 

Henderson then made his way to the back yard and while trying to force open another door was confronted by the home owner at gunpoint, police said. 

 

Two of the suspects are from Portage while the other suspect is from Hobart.

 

It appears they came here on motorcycles judging by the two wheeled vehicles left in the driveway of the home they were chased from by the homeowner as he threatened to call the police, according to court documents.
