EASTON, Mass. — The Easton Police Department on Tuesday released body camera footage showing officers arresting two men in an armed home invasion.
Police responded to the home with a mother and her three kids inside after an alarm went off last week.
Officers quickly caught one of the men running from the house.
Police dogs then helped officers find the other man hiding behind a tree.
During the chase, officers found a loaded gun tossed in the woods.
The suspects were identified as Ernst Lacrete, 25, of Quincy, and Lavar Benson, 25, of Dorchester.
Both men have been charged with home invasion, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a large-capacity firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm without a license.
