Three Charged in Shakopee Home Invasion Burglaries

Three people have been charged in connection with numerous home invasion burglaries in Shakopee in recent weeks.

Anthony Azariel Garrido, 18, is accused of burglarizing several homes, including one in which a woman was at home in the shower. Garrido is charged with three felonies: first-degree burglary of an occupied dwelling, and two counts of third-degree burglary.

His twin brother, Bryant Azariel Garrido, is charged with two counts of felony third-degree burglary. The Garridos have the same Shakopee address listed on court records.

Nineteen-year-old Camilo Andres Ramirez, of Lakeville, is facing two felony charges of third-degree burglary – aiding and abetting.

According to court documents, police were called to the 1600 block of Sage Lane near on May 4 when a woman noticed a window in her home was open and items were missing.

Some cash, a piggy bank and three diamond rings were gone, among other items. Police sent fingerprints from the scene to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for analysis and also found some of the items, including the rings, at a pawnshop that had been pawned by Ramirez.

Police arrested Bryant Garrido and Ramirez while they were riding in a car together and they found a stolen laptop and X-box 360. The Xbox was linked to another burglary on the 1400 block of Primrose Lane.

In a statement to police, Ramirez said he agreed to pawn some of the items because Bryant Garrido offered to buy and share marijuana and heroin with him.

Bryant reportedly told police he and his brother were addicted to heroin and admitted they broke into houses and stole things.

When Anthony Garrido was arrested, police say he admitted to the burglary where a woman was in the shower on the 1000 block of Juniper Court on April 29. The woman told police she heard a noise and when she went to investigate, found a man matching Anthony Garrido’s description standing in her living room. After he left, she noticed an X-box 360 was missing.

All three men remain in while their cases proceed: Anthony Garrido on $100,000 bail, Bryant Garrido on $75,000 bail and Ramirez on $75,000 bail.

said they are investigating whether these men are associated with any other area burglaries and said their fight against heroin crimes has become a top priority.

"It's an illustration of how bad a drug heroin really is," he said.
