Four Men Charged in April Home Invasion in Taylorstown

Four men were arrested and face charges related to an April 16 home invasion robbery in Taylorstown, according to a press release from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.

The LCSO, the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland, and the Pennsylvania State Police on Tuesday announced the arrests of Roman S. Monzon, 19, Mark A. Hoy Jr., 19, and John A. Dey, 19. Each was charged with breaking and entering to commit robbery, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and abduction. The fourth suspect, now 18, was a juvenile at the time of the robbery, so his name has been withheld. He is charged with breaking and entering and abduction.

Members of the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office took Monzon, Hoy and the teenager, all from Frederick, MD, into custody last week. Dey, of Boonsboro, MD, fled Maryland and officers with the Pennsylvania State Police apprehended him in a hotel in Fayetteville, PA.

The incident occurred on Loyalty Road near Taylorstown in April when a family member answered the door for a delivery, according to the LCSO. One of the suspects forced his way into the home, followed by three other suspects. The suspects were armed and held a family of five against their will while removing items from the home.

Once the suspects left, someone from the family ran and contacted the LCSO. No one was injured during the incident.
“The arrests in this case were made possible through the sharing of information between multiple jurisdictions and the dedication and hard work of personnel from Loudoun County, Frederick County and Pennsylvania,” said Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman.

“These men terrorized a family and deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent that the law allows for this type of crime,” said Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Robert Johnson, applauding the work of the three agencies in tracking the suspects down.

The LCSO released sketches and a photo of the vehicle similar to the suspect vehicle after the Taylorstown incident. In May, members of the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office discovered information that appeared to connect a robbery in Maryland to the Taylorstown incident. The agencies worked together to identify the four suspects. Investigators believe there could be a fifth involved, according to the LCSO report.

All four men are awaiting extradition to Virginia.
