Brothers Robbed Liquor Store Together: Police

Two brothers have been arrested, suspected of burglarizing a Bristol liquor store together and stealing a cash register, as well as another cash register drawer.

When police responded to an active burglar alarm at D&D Package Store, at 966 Pine St., at 2:19 a.m. on Thursday, the front window was smashed out and it was clear that the burglars had gotten inside and taken a cash register and another cash register drawer, police said.

Investigators looked at surveillance video, which presented a description of the burglars and their dark vehicle, which headed east, so police put out a bulletin to surrounding towns.

Police in the next town over found not only the car, but the suspects and money stolen during the burglary, police said.

Plainville Police would find the discarded cash register as well as the vehicle.

Police apprehended the brothers in the vehicle, police said.

Juan Gonzalez, 54, was charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree conspiracy to commit burglary, sixth-degree larceny and second-degree criminal mischief. He is being held on a $75,000 surety bond.

Police identified the second suspect is as Jesus Gonzalez, 49, of Bristol. He is Juan’s brother, police said, and he’s been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary in the third degree and conspiracy to commit larceny in the sixth degree. He is being held on a $50,000 surety bond.

Both brothers will appear in Bristol Superior Court this morning.
