Third Suspect Sought in Hiawatha Home Invasion

(KNZA)--The third suspect in a May 16th Hiawatha home invasion remains at large.

Police Chief John Defore says 27-year-old Oscar Martinez, of Bern, is being sought on a warrant for aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault and criminal restraint.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the Hiawatha Police Department at 785-742-2156.

21-year-old Edgar Martinez and 23-year-old Jazmene Hicks, both of Sabetha, were arrested May 19th in connection with the home invasion.

The trio are accused of breaking into a home at 121 Apache Street.  Police say the occupant, Ray Atlakson, reported he was battered and robbed, with his hands bound behind his back before the suspects fled the scene.

Atlakson was treated for injuries at the Hiawatha Community Hospital.

The suspects are accused of taking a pair of car keys, billfold and an RCA tablet by force.

Edgar Martinez and Hicks remain in the Brown County Jail on $175,000 bond each.
