Two Georgia Men Accused of Posing as Delivery Drivers Charged in Stamford Home Invasion

A panic alarm triggered a swift police response that ended with two arrests, police say.

Overview

  • Police say the attack was reported just after 11:30 a.m. Monday at a Dunn Avenue home in Stamford.
  • The intruders wore Amazon-style vests, used a package-signature ruse, and forced entry while armed with handguns.
  • The homeowners were assaulted, with the man pistol-whipped and the woman grabbed and briefly smothered with a pillow, and both were treated for minor injuries.
  • After the panic alarm sounded, the suspects ran off; a witness relayed a license plate, and officers stopped a vehicle, recovered two handguns, and arrested two men following a brief attempt to flee.
  • Police identified the suspects as Hayes Edmonds, 24, and Sam Oduor, 25, of Georgia, who were arraigned on home invasion and related charges, held on $2 million bond, and are due back in court in March.
