Bridgeport man charged in Stratford home invasion

STRATFORD - A Bridgeport man recently released after serving a prison sentence in a murder case has been charged with participating in a home invasion.

Police said Jaquan Wade, 25, and two other men broke into a home on Light Street in Stratford and robbed the occupants.

Wade was charged Thursday with home invasion, first-degree robbery and first-degree unlawful restraint.

He was held in lieu of $750,000 bond.

In 2012, Wade was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to seven years in prison followed by five years of probation.

Police said that on May 31, three masked men forced their way into the Light Street home. During a struggle one of the home’s occupants was stabbed in the hand, police said. The masked men fled with an undetermined amount of cash, police said.

The victims identified Wade as a man they had previously sold marijuana to and who appeared to be one of the robbers, police said.

Police said they later obtained Wade’s cell phone and discovered Facebook messages he had sent during the home invasion to a lookout.

Police said they are still seeking the other men involved in the crime.
