K-9 Helps Nab Suspect Accused in Violent Home Invasion That Landed Woman in Hospital

A K-9 helped track down an armed suspect accused in a violent home that left a South Jersey woman badly hurt.

Vineland Police responded to the 1300 block of Leroy Place Thursday night for the report of an armed home invasion.

When officers arrived the gunmen were gone but they found a 42-year-old woman suffering from serious injuries. That woman was airlifted to Atlantic City Medical Center where she remained in critical but stable condition Friday.

The manhunt quickly began and a police K-9 helped track down one suspect in some nearby woods. A second suspect was later arrested, according to investigators.

Police charged Vineland resident Andre Barreiro, 21, and Raymond Medina, 23, with robbery and weapons charges with the intent to press further charges as they sat in Cumberland County Jail. Police didn’t say which suspect was apprehended by the K-9.
