Three men allegedly break into Brockton home with teenager inside

Three men were arrested after allegedly breaking into a Brockton home with a teenager hiding inside, according to police.

Police said they received a call around 3 p.m. Friday afternoon for a breaking and entering in progress, and responding officers found two suspects still inside when they arrived.

The suspects allegedly ran out of the house and struck a police officer on the porch before additional officers chased them on foot and by car.

Police said one officer in a cruiser had 34-year-old Roxbury native Lino Correia in sight outside of a Belgravia Avenue home, and Correia allegedly tried to get in the passenger side of a white car in the driveway.

When the officer pulled up to the end of the driveway, the driver allegedly crashed into the cruiser.

Police said the driver, 27-year-old Brockton native Patrick Brandao, was allegedly also connected to the home invasion, and he was arrested for home invasion, operating a motor vehicle as a habitual traffic offender with a revoked license and for an outstanding warrant.

Meanwhile, Correia and 18-year-old Brockton native Alex Veiga were arrested for assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace and home invasion.

The teenager inside the home at the time of the invasion was not injured.
