2 arrested for string of home burglaries in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb counties

Suspects would dress as contractors wearing construction work vests

Two men have been arrested for allegedly burglarizing several homes across multiple Metro Detroit counties.

The suspects were arrested by Warren police on Thursday, after a special surveillance operation caught the duo committing a home invasion in Dearborn. The suspects were identified as 42-year-old Antonio Barry of Clinton Township and 29-year-old James Long of Detroit.

Warren police said the two men are suspected in at least six residential burglaries in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties.

Warren police said their investigation showed that both suspects would dress as contractors wearing construction work vests. The suspects would then knock on doors of various residences to determine if people were home.

Barry and Long were arraigned on home invasion charges at 37th District Court in Warren on Friday. These charges stem from the pairs involvement in some residential burglaries in Warren from June and July 2023. Investigators are still working to see if Barry and Long are responsible for any other burglaries in Warren.

These suspects are also expected to face additional charges in Hazel Park, Clinton Township, and Dearborn for their crimes in those jurisdictions.
