Three women were held at gunpoint during a home invasion in Naugatuck and the men who are accused of breaking into the apartment stole thousands of dollars in cash, dozens of expensive sneakers and other items, according to Naugatuck police.
Police said they responded to the apartment on Horton Hill Road just before noon on Memorial Day and learned that three men in masks had broken in, held the women at gunpoint and stole more than $14,000 in cash, dozens of high-end sneakers, three videogame consoles and a laptop.
