Three charged in burglary, vandalism spree

POCONO TWP – Police have charged two Tannersville men and a Massachusetts woman with a crime spree that included the theft of guns during a home burglary.

Dennis Salgado and Justin Guskiewicz, both 19 and Shadira Fontanez, 19 of Massachusetts, are being held in lieu of $150,000 bail each, in the Monroe county Correctional Facility.  More arrests are possible, police say.

The three suspects in custody allegedly began their night of crime about 10:30 Wednesday evening.  A police officer, on routine patrol, noticed what he thought was a suspicious vehicle  on Wiscasset Drive, about 3 Thursday morning.  The officer activated his lights and the car took off.

The chase ended when the car crashed on Route 314 at Summit Road.  The suspects fled on foot, but were soon arrested.

Police say the three vandalized some cars and broke into a home, stealing guns and other items.
