Three men have been arrested on charges that range from home invasion, robbery and sexual assault in a crime spree that terrorized people that lived in their own neighborhood of Olney in Philadelphia.
Mathew Fletcher, 19, Dwight Stubbs, 25, and Lamar Stansbury, 21, who lived on the 5800 block of North Hope Street, were arrested in connection to five crimes: a burglary, a store robbery, three home invasion robberies at the same house at different times, and the sexual assault of the homeowner, police say.
In an exclusive interview, the owner of a corner store that the trio robbed on Sept. 2 said that he re-lives the robbery every day.
“I didn’t pray what happened to me to happen to anybody because I could’ve been a dead person by now,” he said. He didn’t want to be identified.
On Sept. 6, the three men robbed a family in their home, only to return two days later to rob the same family and sexually assault a 53-year-old woman, police say.
Neighbors say that they are relieved to know that the three men are now in custody.
