A 12-year-old boy was home alone in Danville, New Hampshire, when three masked intruders armed with baseball bats broke into his home. The boy was on a video chat with a friend when the suspects entered, threatening to hurt his father.

Arrests Made

John and Nathan Wilder were arrested and charged in connection with the home invasion. A juvenile alleged to be involved was released to a parent. The suspects were found to have used baseball bats and ski masks during the invasion.

The boy’s friend quickly called 911, and an officer arrived at the scene, setting a perimeter and calling in two K9 units. A search of the area led officers to another nearby home, where they interviewed Nathan Wilder, who initially denied involvement.

Further investigation revealed that the original caller had heard from friends that one of the suspects had bragged about being involved. Police determined that Nathan Wilder, John Wilder, and a juvenile were the three people who had broken into the home. John Wilder admitted to police that he had broken into the home, with Nathan Wilder and a juvenile assisting him.

Police seized three baseball bats, two ski masks, and articles of clothing used in the crime. John Wilder is charged with burglary with a weapon, criminal threat with a deadly weapon, and criminal mischief. Nathan Wilder is charged with burglary with a weapon and criminal threat with a deadly weapon.
