That's some tech-savvy burglars right there.

Matthew Colon, 31, of West Springfield, Mass., was arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit second-degree larceny. Enrique Santiago, 37, of Springfield, Mass., faces charges that include first-degree burglary, possession of burglary tools, stealing a firearm and conspiracy.

The thieves had cut through a chain link fence and disabled surveillance cameras both manually and with the WiFi jammer, but one camera by the pool was out of range of the jamming device and continued recording, Windsor Locks Detective Sgt. Jeff Lampson wrote in the arrest warrant affidavit. The homeowner reported US$4,200 in cash missing, along with men’s watches, jewellery and his wife’s 9 mm pistol, the warrant said.

In this case, however, police said DNA proved the thieves’ undoing. During a daylight canvass of the Green Manor Terrace area on May 23, a homeowner told police she found a pair of gloves she had not seen before and handed them over to investigators. Police submitted swabs from the gloves and other evidence they suspected the thieves had touched to the state forensic laboratory.

The homeowner said he considered Colon a friend and had told him about his trip to Long Island last May, the warrant stated. The victim also said Colon and his father had helped him remodel his house, the warrant stated. He said Matthew Colon had been to his home numerous times and was aware of the surveillance camera system, the warrant said.
